JAMES SUCKLING 92 points
Striking nose of caramelized pineapple, with white and pink pepper. Quite some tension on the medium-bodied palate between the fine tannins and the restrained fruit. Long, emphatically dry finish with dried herb complexity. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

VINOUS 89 points
The 2022 Grüner Veltliner was picked across the region and fermented spontaneously in stainless steel, with full malolactic conversion. The nose has an unusual scent of oatmeal, with slight flinty reduction. The palate presents savory crushed herb pepperiness on a palate that is serene, smooth and mellow, yet fresh. Pepper and yeast notes stand out beautifully in this bright, slender swine. (Bone-dry) - Anne Krebiehl MW
