(2024) From clay and limestone soils in the Leithaberg region of Burgenland, this is a particularly clean and refreshing style of Grüner, mineral rather than overtly fruity. That gives real elegance as the nose opens with lemon zest and a hint of creamy yellow apples. There's a little sprinkle of white pepper too, which is classic. In the mouth that sense of elegant freshness continues, helped by having just 12% alcohol, long, pure and shimmering with acidity.

(2021) A biodynamic wine from Austria made with minimal intervention and fermented with natural yeast, there's a light, creamy earthiness to the pear and apple fruit, a hint of more tropical fruit in the background. Loads of ripe, sweet, juicy fruit on the palate, a fine grapefruity bite of acidity, full-textured but racy too with an expansive mid-palate tightening to a fine point in the finish.

(2013) Plenty of deep colour, with lovely big meaty, gamy nose, lots of dry, full black fruit of bramble and spice and a touch of earthiness. The palate has plenty of sweet fruit, but also that big sour, raft of acidity, that touch of salty mineral quality, the black fruit intensity is good and the tannins are really quite smooth and grippy. 50% on slate and 50% on loam clay. 1600 litre barrels for one year. Spontaneous fermentation.

(2013) Entry level wine, not exported. Has lovely fresh and crisp aromatics. Nice gentle nutty leesiness, has good richness and fresh but fruity palate. Lots of apple citrus. Long.

(2013) Orange peel and lemon rind, that citrus skin and melon skin richness. Again a nuttiness to this and developing toasty notes. Lovely ripe fruit from vineyards facing the lake, all planted on limestone. Lovely fruity richness, texture and grip. Beautifully focused lime skin tang to the finish. Delicious and long.

(2005) >From Terraced vineyards on a granite soil, this GruV has a very pale yellow colour and a nose that is quite intensely mineral, with a steely white fruit quality. It is very reserved, but composed. On the palate this is bone-dry, though there is an immediately creamy texture. The palate is has cool, crisp pear and citrus flavours that are all very tight and grippy, with a powerful thrust of mineral, almost salty acidity. Long and very sharply focused, this wine is structured and beautifully pure, but really does need food to overcome a rather severe character.

(2005) Another from Burgenland, this is a big-scaled Pinot Gris at 14.5% ABV, aged in all new French oak barriques. A very pale gold colour, it has a wonderfully honeyed, nutty nose with little notes of Jack Daniels and toast. There's a big core of white fruit, that is almost minty in its intensity. On the palate it is powerfully oaky, with a sweep of toasty, buttery character shot-through with zesty lime and ripe, sweet pear and apple fruit. This has terrific drama and concentration, with loads going on in the glass, and a big, buttery finish that is given a real edge by mineral acidity.

(2000) Deep gold colour, and a nose that is slightly sherried, with mineral and white fruits and again a herbal nuance. On the palate it is very intense and ripe (13% alcohol) with plenty of citrus fruit and acidity, full body and good length.
