Yes, Grüner Veltliner is the national white grape of Austria and this is from Italy. But Alto Adige WAS Austria until after WWI and GV shines brightly here when done right. This is done right. Plenty of crisp stone fruit... Read More
Lower ABV Another winning harvest for Toni Bauer's super-value single-vineyard GV! Aromas and flavors of green pear, crunchy red apple, tangerine, Meyer lemon, and a dash of that white pepper savory note that makes Grüner... Read More
Lower ABV Austria's signature white grape Gruner Veltliner doesn't travel well - outside of a few examples from Alto Adige (part of Austria until WWI!), it tends to give wine that's either too lean or too fat. Turns... Read More
Lower ABV Another delicious vintage of this stylish Gruner Veltliner. Joe Bauer crafts this cuvee, named for his daughter, from vines growing on pure, calcium and clay-rich, loess soils on different parts of the hill. He picks... Read More
Lower ABV Joe Bauer is pretty unpretentious guy. His cousin, Tony (Anton) Bauer, tends to get all the attention and recognition for his Wagram wines. Joe spends less time seeking recognition and leaves lots of time to play the... Read More

Lower ABV “Grünschnabel” – literally a young duck (a “green beak”) – is what Austrians call a “whipper-snapper” or “newbie.” Here it’s the first wine the Steiningers... Read More
Lower ABV Year-in, year-out, Doug’s favorite daily GV. And the 2022 is one of the best ever. As always there’s wonderful precision, clarity and minerality here along with generous pear, apple and hints of stone fruits... Read More
Five straight vintages, five straight 93 point ratings (4 from Wine Enthusiast, one from Suckling), and this 2021 will join the parade soon. Once again it lines up nicely against the “big names” of Kamptal like Pichler,... Read More
