It seems to be more closely resembled to dry Riesling with maybe a really citric Sauv Blanc(but that's not even a good comparison). You'll have to give one a try - they're pretty affordable.

It was pretty evident. I see some real potential from this grape and of the six participants there was a muted response (from largely red wine drinkers). The Lois definitely was not a favorite from the group but the Krems Stadt scored well. Constance, oh absolutely about the region. It was pretty evident.

I think something that I should point out is that gruner is a very versatile grape so it expresses itself differently by region, year, etc. Looks like the Lois isn't the style for you, but I'm glad you found some you liked! :) Looks like you had a lot of fun!
