Sharon Lécuyer rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Grassy aromas with green apple. Crisp sour notes of lime and green apple. Very zippy acidity and light bodied on the mouth.

Pair with a light fish like sole or mahi mahi with a sauce that is citrus based. Also would pair well with goat cheese as the wine has lots of acidity.

Tasted November 19, 2018
Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A pretty pale lemon green colour with bright fragrant aromas of grapefruit citrus, lemon grass, green apples, and fresh herbs. Flavours reveal crisp bright acidity, pear and lime zest. Very nice! This would be a perfect match for seafood ceviche and shrimp tacos. - tasted November 2018
Jon Steeves rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Fantastic value in this mouthwatering Austrian Gruner. Straw with green hue. Great cool climate acidity, green melon, lime zest, hint of white pepper. Pair with Thai chicken stir fry and jasmine rice. Tasted 2016 vintage in November 2018. 89 points
Simon Chen rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

green apple, fresh, a bit grassy. Very clean on the palate with gentle acidity. A refreshing wine that will go nicely with salad dishes.
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Citrus and tropical fruit aromas with lemon, pineapple and slight honeydew melon notes. Very crisp with great acidity throughout. Tasted November 2018.
Courtney Flood rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Very aromatic for this usually very fresh and light grape varietal. As intense the aromas of fruit - green apple, guava, pineapple - it is equally as fresh and lively with a bracing acidity, notes of lemon, lime, lime zest, fresh basil, bell pepper, and slightly salty-bitter notes of olive, Great good wine, would go well with white fish in a simple lemon-olive oil-pepper dressing; would also hold up well against something rich and creamy like a seafood chowder to cut through the richness.
Jennifer Carter rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Fresh tropical fruit flavours, pineapple and passion fruit. The colour is very pale almost like water, but it does not lack in flavour. So fresh and crisp with mouth watering acidity.
Kristin Perrin rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

Nose: flinty smoky minerality mixed with lemon zest, Granny Smith apple, lime
Palate: Uber crisp acidity, the nose reflected on the palate, light bodied, lasting finish, great value!
Pair with: salads with tangy and or creamy dressings, creamy goat cheeses, simply baked or pan fried white fish with lemon, pesto based garlicky dishes with white meats or veggies.




Natalie's Review

Lenz Moser Prestige Grüner Veltliner 2016, Niederösterreich, Austria: Lenz Moser Prestige 2016 is a vibrant Gruner Veltliner from the Niederösterreich in Austria. Lots of juicy, mouth-watering acidity to pair with fresh seafood and shellfish. Look for tropical aromas and flavors of pineapple, passion fruit, and honeydew melon with a satiny, vibrant finish. Chill and enjoy now with grilled seafood. Drink: 2018-2021. 71233 12.50% D 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 91/100. December 7, 2018 Best Value White Wine. Splendid Salad Wine  Full Review

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
