Another pretty special "premier cru" wine from this winery. Yellow/gold in color, clear and bright. What a great nose with lemon zest, slight white pepper, hints of asparagus and herbal notes. Crisp acidity. Nice, slightly viscous texture. On the palate, nice minerality with lemon zest and slight char. Long finish. This is delicious already and should still improve. Drink over the next ten to twelve years. This would work well with Lamb Curry.
Very concentrated expression of Gruner. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose shows some vanilla, lemon, and spice. Very nice creamy texture with good acidity. On the palate, this has plenty of depth and complexity. Lemons, and dried herbs. Long finish. This vintage seems like it should be more accessible while waiting on the 19's and 21's. Drink over the next seven years. Great on its own, this should be very food friendly. Soft cheeses should work well.
Ried indicates this is a single vineyard wine, in this case Steinsetz, which is just outside the village of Gobelsburg. This is a beautiful wine. Light, pale golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has limes with salinity and minerals. On the palate, this has a great backbone of acidity. Lots of lime fruit, some white pepper and just a hint of herbs (chervil?). Tart but not bracing. Long finish. This might improve a bit but should make great drinking over the next ten to twelve years. It will work well with lighter foods and should be a nice match for broiled sea food.
This is their "Altar Wine", something the estate was founded to produce 900 years ago. It is made with Gruner Veltliner. Silver gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with slight limes, asparagus, slight white pepper and spice. Light tannins. Light to medium bodied. Very intense on the palate. Meyer lemons, slight lime, hints of white pepper and minerals. Long finish. Good acidity. Refreshing and delicious. This is drinking well already but may still improve. Drink over the next six to eight years. It will work well with food. Vietnamese food would be a nice pairin
This sparkling wine from Austria is an blend sourced from the premier cru vineyards of Heiligenstein, Gaisberg, Grub and Lamm. It is about 50% Gruner Veltliner with the rest about 25% each Pinot Noir and Riesling. Golden in color with a steady stream of smaller bubbles. The nose has Vanilla, spice and minerals. Medium bodied. Slight tannins. On the palate, there is some depth. Very refreshing. Minerals, slight citrus, with underlying char. Some chalk on the finish. A very nice sparkline wine. This drinks well now and should be drunk over the next five to eight years. Certainly g
Tasted at the winery as part of a vertical of 18, 19 & 20. Much bigger, riper and more depth than the 2020 (at least at this stage). Hay/Gold in color, clear and bright. Wow, what a gorgeous nose. Classic. Floral (white flowers?), slight asparagus, and white pepper and a hint of spice. Medium bodied. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, lemon zest and lemon candy. Good acidity. Depth and tight complexity that opens in the glass. Long finish. This is drinking well now but may improve as it matures. Drink over the next twelve to fifteen years. Great on its own, this will s
