Reviewed July 2024In spite of the richness imparted by this very warm site, there’s a tobacco-leaf and black-tea character that gives this concentrated, medium-bodied wine a special twist and drive. Restrained mangoes, terrific stony energy and bergamot complexity make it exciting. Only 13% alcohol, helping the finish dance over your palate and off into the distance. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.

Vinous
The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Loibenberg is from Wachau’s paradigmatic warm site. Ripe yellow pear flesh, savory yeast and miso paste play gently on the still-shy nose. The palate is juicy and mild, with a fresh but slender, dynamic body that drives ahead easily and fluently. Crushed sage leaf provides savor around the edges. The finish is salty and mouth-watering, with more savory yeast. (Bone-dry)(AK)
Notes
96-98pts Fallstaff Magazine: "Pale yellow-green with a silver sheen. Lovely notes of tangerine zest, a hint of yellow stone fruit, fine fresh herbs, tobacco nuances. Juicy, elegant, fine nuances of apple and mango, a subtle acidity, with a mineral-salty finish, a smooth full-bodied food wine.-Peter Moser"(07/2024)
