Austrian Grüners and Rieslings, mainly 2004 and 2005

There follow tasting notes on a total of about 125 Austrian Grüner Veltliners tasted by me and 50 Austrian Rieslings tasting by Julia Harding MW suffixed ‘(JH)’. Most of them are either 2005s (often tank or cask samples) or, mainly, 2004s. See also my article Introducing Grüner Veltliner to the masses which includes some comments about these two most recent vintages.

Wines are listed alphabetically by (sur)name of producer and then by vintage, generally increasing in price, Grüner Veltiners before Rieslings. There are lots of good wines here. Use www.winesearcher.com to find your nearest retailer.
