Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Starts off with pretty notes of mirabelle plum and apple blossoms before turning firmly structured and savory on the palate, which is headlined by a pronounced saline streak, while orchard fruit and tangy lemon details add texture. Shows yeasty hints on the dry, smoke-laced finish. Drink now through 2028.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Dürnstein, formerly labelled Frauenweingarten, was harvested in flat valley sites and fermented in stainless steel. A pure note of lemon and grapefruit is immediate on the nose, but ripeness is apparent. These aromas become fully fleshed on the creamy palate, where white miso, white pepper and very creamy yeast provide a compact, smooth presentation, defined and delineated by lemon brightness. This is bone-dry and zesty and has beautiful liveliness, with a peppery vibe—a proper little livewire.
