The inaugural, 2008, vintage of Anton Bauer's Gruner Veltliner "Gmork" was a huge hit here at Cecile's Wine Cellar, but the 2009 cranks up the deliciousness even further. The Washington Post's Wine Critic, Dave MacIntyre, just gave the 2009 Gmork his highest "***" rating, saying:
"The 2009 Anton Bauer "Gmork" Gruner Veltliner leapt to the top of my list of this year's favorite white wines, especially when I saw its modest $11 price tag. It combines zesty lime with chalky minerality and a soft floral note that carries a whiff of spring. You'll be tempted to drink it now, but it should only get better with age...This delightful wine offers a fine example of what wine lovers call minerality: subtle flavors of lime zest with a hint of peach and nuances of talc and stone. It conjures an image of vine roots stretching through rocky soil, reaching for the essence of the earth."
Very fine value in top-quality Gruner!
