Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Beautiful aromas and flavours of fresh cut grass, freshly squeezed lime, lemon zest and a hint of sage. 89 Points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)
Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Pale yellow green colour. Aroma of lemon-lime citrus peels and fuzzy peach candy. The dry stone fruit flavour ends on pleasant, be it short bitter almond finish and longer zippy acidity. Score 90. Pair with shark or tuna steak, shellfish, or sharp cheese. (S.Segard, reviewed Jan. 16, 2017.)
Greg Hughes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Soft for a Grüner, but still quite fresh and crisp. Medium bodied and with lots of refreshing acidity. This comes from the Carnuntum area - where the soils are relatively diverse for one growing area. Some of the wines can be tart and racy, others more generous. This is of the fresh and generous sort.
Very pale in the glass - slight green hue.
Aromatic and pretty: pear, spiced apple, lime/lemon zest, and jolly rancher.
The flavours are nice and round with a lot more orchard fruit. Citrusy and crisp on the finish.
A versatile wine that would sing alongside a tuna steak done with cracked pepper and lime.
Pamela Chiles rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Fresh and modern Gruner loaded with sharp and zingy citrus notes, topped with hints of dusty, floral and stone fruit. Excellent with shellfish.




Natalie's Review

Nadler Arbesthal Grüner Veltliner 2016, Niederösterreich, Austria: Vibrant and crisp with some orchard fruit notes, think white peach and green apple with melon. Racy acidity that doesn't bite but will serve beautifully a dish of fresh seafood. Drink: 2016-2020. 12.50% D 750 mL  $26.75 Score: 91/100. January 26, 2017 Top Rated White Wine.  Full Review

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
