Stephen Brook | The nose is appley and piquant. Fresh attack, nimble and poised. This isn’t the weightiest of wines, but it has fine balance and ample acidic backbone and flair. It shows finesse in place of heft and power but is none the worse for that. Harmonious but still a touch slight. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Pale to mid-gold. A lovely GV nose, with ample ginger, melon, white pepper, plant sap, white chocolate, lanolin, musk spice—none of these is overt (overt is not GV’s style), but once you set off looking, you can find treasures hidden away in there. A very seductive and beguiling aromatic profile. Sumptuous, deep, and luxuriously upholstered on the palate; gorgeous from top to bottom. Very richly fruited, with melon and exotic tropical fruits, as well as citrus and ripe summer orchard fruit; spicy and deep, with ample sweet extravagance: the complete Danubian full-body massage. Who could resist? | 92

Stephan Reinhardt | This 2018 Grüner Veltliner from Spitz is pure, deep, and rich on the nose, with flinty notes of crushed stones. Pure, lush, and elegant on the palate, this is a dense, intense, finessed, and lingering GV, with a long and refined, well-structured, persistently salty finish. Impressive. | 94
