"A terrific value, the 2023 Hugl Grüner Veltliner 1 liter has bright citrus, gooseberry, and minty, leafy herbal notes as well as a vibrant, balanced, vivacious style on the palate. It's not bone dry, but it has bright acidity and beautiful overall balance. Drink this undeniably delicious quaffer in its youth."

- Jeb Dunnuck (Importer Highlight: Fran Kysela ; July 2024), 88 pts

"Fresh, clean, bright wine with great aromatic intensity throughout the palate. Citrus with fresh herbs flavours on palate with white pepper, asparagus, green fruit notes. Great price point for this classic wine."

"Fresh green pear, pear drop and a hint of citrus make for a very open, fresh and appetizing nose. The palate is light, dry, lemony and fresh, pervaded by those easy pear flavors. - Anne KREBIEHL MW"

"The nose is neutral and gives little away. The palate is light, dry but also pleasantly fresh. The wine is unobtrusive, light and dry but rather refreshing. - Anne KREBIEHL MW"

"Subtle notes of ripe yellow pear on the nose are toned down by lemon freshness on the light easy-drinking dry palate. Lots of verve and juiciness make for an ideal aperitif or party wine."

"The scent of freshly cut pear peel plays on the nose of this wine. The palate is less expressive but shows lemony freshness and light body. The finish is clean and dry."

"Green pear and balm-like hints of aloe vera appear first on the palate then are followed by softly spiced and slightly peppery citrus notes that also provide some welcomed texture. A lovely, easy-drinking Grüner."

"Slightly more intense than the 2012 Grüner Veltliner is the 2014 Wimmer Grüner Veltliner, another 1,000-mililiter packaged bottle selling for a song. Plenty of lime notes intermixed with grapefruit, a hint of tangerine, and apple are all present in this fresh, well-focused, zesty wine. Drink it over the next year."

"A fresh scent of green pears greets the nose. What follows comes in a light, crisp citrus vein, supported by a rounded mouthfeel. A refreshing wine for immediate drinking. - Anne Krebiehl, MW"

"The 2012 Gruner Veltliner exhibits a spicy, peppery nose displaying hints of citrus and honeyed grapefruit. This pleasant, dry, crisp white is a noteworthy value, especially for a liter bottle. Consume it over the next year. "

"There is a nice mineral aspect in the nose and even a salty, saline-like note mingling with fresh squeezed lime aromas; light to medium bodied and quite crisp, with a pretty array of fresh citrus flavors."

"An outstanding bargain from this Austrian producer located in the southern part of Weinvertel, this should turn out to be a hugely popular wine, given the price point and the liter-sized bottle. Loads of wet rocks, crushed chalk and honeyed grapefruit as well as touches of apricots and apple skin are all present in this aromatic, light to medium-bodied, fresh, dry, zesty wine. Drink it over the next 1-2 years."
