2016 Weingut Willi Bründlmayer Ried Heiligenstein Riesling, Austria, Kamptal, Wine Review

Delicious, if young, Austrian Riesling. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has some apples, slight lemon and slight diesel. Medium to full bodied. On the palate, clean with apples and lemons and nice minerality. Dry. Strong, lovely acidity. Long finish. This will continue to mature and improve for another five to ten years and drink well for ten to twelve after that. It is great on its own and very versatile (and probably better) with food. It went well with Quiche.

Score:

Grade:

These vines averaged over 40 years of age. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has some diesel and slight botrytis along with lemon peel and minerals. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this is clean. Complex and deep. Wonderful minerality with a some peach comes thru. Long finish. This is drinking beautifully but should easily go another eight to ten years. It is great on its own and will work nice with Thai food.

Pale Gold in color, clear and bright. This took maybe 3o to 45 minutes to open up. On the nose there is a nice lemon candy note with some minerality. On the palate, the lemon candy comes thru along with fresh lemons and underlying minerality. Slight char. There is a nice depth and complexity here. Still on the youthful side with plenty of vibrancy. Long finish. This should drink well for another twelve to fifteen years. This is great on its own and will work with a wide variety of lighter foods including fried chicken.

2020 Schloss Gobelsburg Riesling 1ÖTW Ried Heiligenstein, Austria, Kamptal, Wine Review

Vintage:

2020

Score:

Grade:

From a "premier cru" vineyard that has the oldest vines used by Schloss Gobelsburg. Green/yellow/gold in color, clear and bright. The wine has some heft to it, even in thinner vintages. It is fuller, "meatier" than the Gaisberg vineyard. Lots of minerals and spice, and some floral notes. Medium to full bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, slight peach, but this is more about minerality and spice. Dry. Long finish. This is delicious now, but really needs a few years to flesh out.

This is made from various terraced vineyards and brought up in stainless steel tanks. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has minerals, slight floral notes and a slight pineapple quality. Nice texture. There does seem to be a bit of sweetness which is surprising although it certainly would not be considered a sweet or even semi-sweet wine. On the palate, there is a nice quince note with underlying minerality. It is delicious and ready to drink now but should last for another eight to ten years easily. It drinks well on its own and will work great with (not too spicy) Thai

Nice to revisit this wine. It seems full mature at this point. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has some limes along with a touch of yellow grapefruit and a bit of petrol. Medium bodied. On the palate, this has a nice complexity. Citrus and minerality. With age this has rounded out and while it drinks well on its own, it is very food friendly. Drink over the next five to ten years.
