Features a core of peach, ripe apple and spices, with an acidic lemon-lime beam bringing balance. Gilded with warm toast and spices, this also has a smoky mineral layer that's beautifully integrated, while a kick of fleur de sel and pink grapefruit pith mark the lengthy finish.

A superlative Gruner, showing off its exotic spices as well as its green, crisp freshness. The whole is in balance, with some richness but more elegance. It is delicious but also intense, a synergy between green fruits and tropical apricots.——R.V.(8/1/2008)—— 93

The 2006 Gruner Veltliner Loiser Berg shares a honeydew melon and herb personality with its sibling from the Vogelsang, but here we have a dusting of white pepper, more esters, high-toned suggestions of floral and pastisse-like herbal distillates, and a pungent, slightly more opaque finish. In 2006, Willi Brundlmayer really displayed mastery of his sites. While their fruits all ripened to high potential alcohol such as we have become used to in most vintages at this estate, this was by and large without detrimental effects, and the wines display clarity and refinement without heat or bitterness.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
