I really like this Gruner. Quite floral! It showed Pink Lady apple, yellow peach and lime, with tangerine blossoms and hints of vanilla and effervescence. It doesn't show the minerality of a great Austrian Gruner, but rather has a lightly creamy body that actually works well and makes the wine quite approachable. Pair with grillables like skewered veggies and shrimp. May 25, 2010
