Biodynamic wine. Tasted at the winery. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is tight but opens to show limes, lemon zest, floral notes, and spice. Medium to full bodied. Concentrated. On the palate, the limes return along with underlying minerality and spice. Light tannins. Good acidity. Long finish. This is a delicious wine that may still improve. Drink over the next twelve to fifteen years.
This is a Biodynamic (Demeter) wine imported by Terry Theise. Yellow green in color. The nose has white flowers, minerals and slight asparagus note. On the palate, this is soft. Nice minerals and limes. It seems ever so slightly sweet but then turns tart. Nice finish. Easy drinking and food friendly. $30
Tasted at the winery. Biodynamic. Silver/golden in color, slightly cloudy but bright. The nose is initially tight, but opens, first showing asparagus, then minerality, a bit of ginger and finally, limes. Medium bodied. Medium tannins. Nice acidity. On the palate, the limes are in the forefront but there are also nice mineral undertones. Really nice creamy texture. Long finish that has a bit of green apple. This is drinking beautifully, but will likely improve over the next year or two. Drink over the next ten to fifteen years. This would go well with fish or tofu tacos.
Biodynamic wine tasted at the winery. Very light silvery/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is very nice with a floral note (apple blossoms?) and limes with some minerality. Slightly oily/velvety texture. Good acidity. Dry. On the palate, this is very lively. Limes, slight herbal note and minerals. Long finish. This drinks so easily on its own but will work well with foods. Of course, Wiener Schnitzel, but also some good ole Texas Chili would work well. Drink over the next 8 to twelve years.
From one of the oldest wineries in Europe and one of the oldest vineyards (first mentioned in print in 511AD), this is a beautiful Gruner. Green/gold/silver in color, clear and bright. The nose is pretty with slight floral notes, asparagus, apples and spice. Full bodied. Crisp acidity. On the palate, this has limes, and slight lemons with underlying acidity. Long finish. This is a delicious wine that is showing plenty of depth and complexity. Drink over the next ten to twelve years. It is excellent on its own and will work well with a wide variety of foods. A nice match would be s
Im Weingebirge is one of the oldest vineyard names in Europe first being mentioned in 511 AD. This is a late release and really shows that even the middleweight Federspiels can age just fine. This is just starting to get close to maturity at 7 years from vintage. Silvery/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is tight at first but opens to show slight asparagus, yeast, spice, minerals and white pepper. Lovely creamy texture. Light tannins. Nice acidity. On the palate, this is layered and complex. Limes with pepper and spice with underlying minerals. A very long finish. Just a
