Gruner Veltliner

very light green-tinged yellow color; savory, celery seed nose; tart green fruit, celery seed palate; medium-plus finish

As far as we know, there is no such word in German as Schplink. But if there's a bunch of consonants with one vowel and an umlaut, then any word can look Germanic. With electric yellow color, dot matrix font, and futuristic models from the 1980s, this box of Gruner will grab your attention and invite you into its digital world. However, the 11th generation winemaker Norbert Bauer is anything but a 21st-century phenomenon. The winery was founded back in 1721 in Pulkautal, Lower Austria, and is still going strong with traditional yet forward-thinking wines. In Schplink, Norbert & Gisela Bauer offer a Gruner that is so modern, refreshing, and tantalizing. The cool climate, hand-picked fruit (from vines that are up to 35 years-old) is fermented and aged in steel. Lightly fined and filtered before transferred to 3L boxes. Flavor Profile: Medium-bodied, dry. Bright lemon acidity, minerals, and aromatics that are perfect for hot summer days. Keep it in the fridge and pour yourself a glass or carafe to have with fish, mayo-based salads, cheeses, schnitzels, and sausages.

"If you have never tasted Grüner Veltliner before, this is a fabulous introduction. It has beautiful white peach aromas and flavours, with a seasoning of white pepper or even daikon, which is so characteristic of the variety. Great value! Weingut Pfaffl was awarded Wine Enthusiast European Winery of the Year in 2016"

Lois (rhyming with “choice”) is named after the village of Langenlois and was one of the first high-quality examples of Grüner Veltliner to be exported to international markets in 1999. Its intent is an easy-to-enjoy, fresh-tasting style of Grüner Veltliner produced from a combination of estate grown fruit and contracted growers in Lower Austria. Grüner Veltliner’s bright acidity and savory character make it and an ideal partner to mildly spiced Vietnamese, Thai, and Chinese dishes. Fish and shellfish are accented by Grüner Veltliner’s citrus and mineral profile while its acidity cuts the richness of pork or ham. It can also work well with foods that are difficult to pair such as bitter greens and asparagus.

For an ice wine, this is relatively rich. But it certainly doesn’t take away from the pure acidity that lifts the sweet fruit, giving the ripe peach and dried apricot flavors a great frame. It is ready to drink now, but another year and it will be even better focused.

Gruner Veltliner has so much to give. The varietal character is intense and highly unique suiting itself perfectly to hands-off winemaking methods. There is a range of fruit maturity with which this grape can be harvested to lend itself to different styles. The resulting wines can vary from lean and herbal, to highly textured and exotic smelling depending on the vineyards ability to ripen the fruit. Our site produces fruit that wants to be rich and exotic producing significant texture for its meager alcohol levels. We prefer this style for our own taste and encourage it by aging the wine in oak casks for 10 months with full solids.

The Rooftop Reds Grüner Veltliner features fresh flavors of stone and green herbs that bring to mind an alpine stream. The stony notes in this wine may appeal to many drinkers but alienate others.  Drink this wine with snacks or dinner.

Young, charming and fruity nose, with hints of citrus and fresh stone fruit. Lovely white peach, melon and floral flavours. Full, dry palate with firm structure, showing some minerality. Juicy freshness. Long, crisp finish with great finesse and viscosity. A pleasant, refreshing and easy going wine. A prime example Grüner Veltliner at an attractive price. This food-loving wine is working with dishes from sushi to roast pork.

91 points from Wine Enthusiast: "This Cab-based Bordeaux blend has sizable amounts of Merlot and Cab Franc. It’s quite a distinguished wine, classic in the modern Napa sense of softness and ripeness to the point of decadent drinkability. There’s a sweet olive-tapenade edge to the blackberry, cassis and cherry flavors. The finish, believe it or not, suggests blueberry pie, fresh from the oven." (12/31/2007) 91 points from Wine & Spirits Magazine: "This wine's cool edges bring a North Coast conifer forest to mind. Ripe cherry flavors and espresso coffee scents give it sweetness, though the wine is balanced and understated. For duck roasted with cherries." (12/07) 90 points from Robert Parker: "A beautiful wine from this Napa winery, The Oracle is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Malbec. Deep ruby/purple, with spicy aromatics intertwined with some lush blackberry and cassis fruit, opulent on the palate, with full body, silky tannins, and low acidity, this is a beauty that should drink handsomely for at least a decade." (Dec. 2007)

The Pratsch family has been growing organically for over 30 years in Austria. All of their wines are certified organic and vegan. Their organic Gruner Veltliner is fruit forward with a touch of apple, peach and apricot with a slight spice. Fresh and tangy, fine spices, white pepper and round body.

A lively, densely fruited white wine from the Kamptal region of Austria. This vintage has just arrived as is boasting the warmer season more than ever. The palate is fuller, the fruit floral, pithy and fresh with minerals on the finish. Sometimes Grüner Veltliner makes more sense to buy in a liter size. More goodness for more friends!

Beaming yellow with straw-gold reflexes: in the nose fine apple tones. Pear, quince, aroma of dried fruits with an exotic hint, exhibits pleasant spice; on the palate nutty-spicy-peppery, piquant fruit acid, juicy and stimulating; elegant, lively finish.
