WINE SPECTATOR - 90 POINTS Vibrant and mouthwatering, with spring blossoms, green melon, nectarine and quince cut through with a saline beam of acidity, while sage and smoke add range. Drink now through 2030.
This features mouthwatering acidity that links the elements together, evoking an intense mix of stone fruit, ginger and cardamom. It's well-structured and balanced with some complexity on the finish. Wine Enthusiast - 89 Points.
The Gruner Veltliner Freiheit, with its overt green bean, snap pea, and floral aromas, is more overtly Gruner Veltliner-typical than the Gartling. In the mouth, a rich peachy fruit and ore-like, savory sense of "the mineral" ally themselves to the flavors of legumes. Bright lime citricity extend the range of expression, and this finishes with long, savory traces in all registers. Certainly it represents another outstanding value and proves Nigl this year's consummate master of the supposedly modest, introductory-level, low alcohol wine.
