jeb dunnuck logo 250"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."

wine enthusiast 88 pts"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."

wa300"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."

wa300"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."
