This Grüner was certainly substantial enough to be able to take it, substantial and with good body, but not too heavy at the same time. It is true that good acidity goes a long way in balancing high ABV - I recently had this in a few American wines and it worked very well. I was really surprised because I haven't seen high alcohol done so well!
