Terrific bottle of Gruner here. You don't usually expect this much personality and pizzazz without buying a fancy smaragd label - I was actually taken aback. It's deceptively soft at first but all that means is that it's not leaning on ripping acidity to stay fresh. There is still plenty of cut to the texture but the fruit is plush and fleshy, so it actually pulls off a nice balance between something gentle and contemplative and something you can guzzle for its thirst-quenching crystal-clean freshness. The flavor itself is very characteristic no-doubter Gruner, edgy but exotic flavors like green banana with a peppery kick. — 8 years ago

Very good! The nose opens up with fresh exotic fruit manguo un particular. On palate the wine has a very good acidity, it’s well balance, with a long finish on exotics fruits — 7 years ago

Light & flowery with rosewater, lichi, white grapes and guava. On the palate quite filigrane, Kabinett Style, as is if off-dry, yet quickly shows great acidity & a mineral streak turning fully dry.
This is very fresh, aromatic, perfect as an aperitif and far from banal. I like it a lot! — 4 years ago
