As the name implies, the grapes for this wine were fermented (five months) in Amphora and bottled with minimal sulfur. Medium golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is very aromatic with quince, dried flowers and slight honeyed note. Medium bodied. On the palate, citrus and quince with some minerality. Good finish. An interesting take on Riesling. It should drink well for another ten years or so. Food friendly, this would work with Wiener Schnitzel.
Stunning wine. Silvery/green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has sulfur and minerals. The sulfur should blow off soon as this was bottled recently before I visited the winery. Medium to full bodied. Excellent acidity. Great texture. On the palate, this has nice minerality with some grapefruit notes. Long finish. This is still young but should drink well with some air. It should last for another fifteen to twenty years if well stored. Very food friendly, this will go great with crab cakes.
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.
This was cool to try at the winery. The bottle had been open, but refrigerated for three days. Still a vibrant green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has diesel as one might expect from a 16 year old Riesling, but also nice minerality and a hint of peach. Full bodied. A broad complexity on the palate. Minerals and slight citrus. Nice finish. Although showing some age, for those who appreciate an aged Riesling, this is drinking well. This would work well with a nice Mulligatawny soup.
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
This is a trocken (dry) Riesling from Lower Austria. Purchased off the list at Palmen Haus Brasserie in Vienna. Golden in color with green hues, clear and bright. The nose is outstanding. Peaches, slight lemon citrus, a hint of honey and wet rocks. Medium bodied. Crisp. On the palate, it feels like it will be sweet, but it is dry. Peach, apricots with underlying minerality and wet stones. Long finish. Very refreshing on a hot day but quite food friendly. It went very well with a vegan Jackfruit Chili Con Carne Taco if not the traditional food pairing. Drink over the next twenty
