88 points Wine Spectator: "Crisp and rich, offering juicy flavors of ripe ruby grapefruit, peach and baked apple, with hints of apricot. Salt and pepper notes mark the finish. Drink now through 2016. (5/31/12)"
88 points Wine Enthusiast: "Sweet pure fruit, starring grapefruit flavors, is rounded with a more creamy character, and additional flavors of pear and fresh sliced melon, finished with pepper. abv: 12%. (Mar 2012)"
87 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "While the lightest Gruner Veltliner bottlings of this vintage at Brundlmayer were spare and overlain with green apple flavors, the 12% alcohol 2010 Gruner Veltliner Kamptaler Terrassen revealed a classic varietal nose of fresh green bean and lime, mingled with gooseberry more reminiscent of Sauvignon, all informing a juicy, brisk, firm palate and finishing with ample refreshment and invigoration as well as a bitter note of fruit pip. Enjoy it over the next 18-24 months. (Oct 2011)"

88 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$28 list] There is a wonderful tang of range zest in this fresh and fruity wine. With its attractive perfumes and flavors of currants it is ready to drink now but could age for a few years. Screwcap. abv: 12%. (Mar 2012)"
87 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "Brundlmayer's 2009 Riesling Kamptaler Terrassen is pungently scented and piquantly flavored with lime zest, roux, and green apple, a strong sense of salinity helping to serve for mouthwatering refreshment in its finish. There is a palpable impression of high extract that helps the wine keep from coming off as too spare. I would plan to enjoy this over the next 18-24 months. (Oct 2011)"
87 points and 'Best Buy,' Wine & Spirits: "[$28 list] As light as lemon meringue yet as firm as steel, this is a simple, concise riesling, a refreshing pour for Friday night seafood suppers. (Apr 2012)"

89 points Wine Spectator: "[$25 list] Lots of spice and slate notes mark this fruity style, which features apple butter, pear and baked peach flavors. Interesting smoke accents chime in on the finish. Drink now through 2015. (5/31/12)"
88 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "Maier’s 2010 Gruner Veltliner Rosensteig exudes ripe fresh apple accompanied by a salad’s worth of crisp, juicy, lightly peppery greens. Silken-textured and surprisingly gentle for its vintage, this nevertheless finishes with fresh lime and a fine sense of vivacity, all in all a good example of how judicious de-acidification could succeed. I would plan on drinking within 2-3 years. (Oct 2011)"

87 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "Hirsch’s 2010 Gruner Veltliner #1 (labeled 'Trinkvergnugen #9' outside the U.S. and incorporating fruit from a fellow biodynamic grower just across the line into the Weinviertel) is lithe; brightly lime- and lemony; with pungent nips of cress and citrus rind balanced by nutty lentil-like undertones. Plan to enjoy it over the coming year. (Oct 2011)"

Terry Theise: "'This is a wine made to dance for one Summer,' says Heidi. I share her triste and love for the brief dancing life, though I often find Muscat has enough dance in it to go several Summers, in fact. She made this the same as the evocative ’09, but this is less evocative and more direct; really blatantly varietal aromas, and it’s the first Muscat I’d tasted (coming quite near the end) that had elder and orange-blossom notes. It’s also riper than many (12%), while the palate is vivid and undeflected, quite minty and dry...rather like her old 'Muscat,' in fact."

91 points Wine & Spirits: "[$20 list] A blend of zierfandler and rotgipfler made entirely in stainless steel tanks, this is at once mouthwatering and lush. Tart apple and lemon notes play over fragrant quince, the texture broad and supple. The full, lasting flavors would stand up well to a pork roast. (Apr 2012)"
Zierfandler and Rotgipfler. Bright yellow. On the nose, orange and citrus notes, pineapple and pear, with facets of hayflowers. On the palate, harmonious with exotic fruits, light citrus notes and a hint of spice. Food Pairing: light cuisine, appetizers, fish, fowl, noodles, Asian cuisine in general, also spicier dishes.
