Green gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with limes and white pepper. Medium bodied. Good acidity. Depth. On the palate, limes and some minerality. Dry. Long finish. Very similar to the Steinfeder version just more of everything. This is great on its own and will work well with most lighter foods. Thai food would be a nice match. Drink over the next three to five years.
Steinfeder is the lowest category in the ripeness classification of white wines in Austria's Wachau Valley. It means the wines have a mandated maximum alcohol level of 11.5 percent. The result is that the wines have a lighter body and tend to drink easier and sooner. Silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has limes and slight white pepper. Medium bodied. On the palate, tart limes. Good acidity. Long finish. This is very food friendly and would go well with pasta primavera. Drink over the next few years.
Light silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with slight limes, asparagus and a slight white pepper. Medium bodied. On the palate, lemon/lime notes. Good acidity. Some minerality. Deep. Long finish. This is light on its feet but serious enough to stand up to moderately heavy foods. It would be nice with fish tacos. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
Another winner from Knoll in the excellent 2021 vintage. Silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has asparagus, and white pepper. Light tannins. On the palate, this has concentrated lime notes. A bit of asparagus on the finish. Long. Deep. Well balanced. This would go well with lighter foods or even a not too spicy Chinese pork dish. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
Tasted at the winery. This is a wine that is unfortunately, not seen too often. Golden in color, opaque and bright. The nose is very pretty with minerals and slight limes. Great texture. Slightly viscous. On the palate, there is a nice bit of acidity to offset the sweetness. It is sweet but not cloying. Minerals with a hint of lime. Long finish. Complex. Delicious. This should drink well for the next twenty-five years. It will go with a les sweet cake, but it deserves to be consumed on its own.
This is resally drinking nicely right now. Maybe give it just a bit of air. Light golden in color. The nose has peas, slight white pepper and pears. Medium bodied. On the palate, this has good, not intense acidity. Nice mouthfeel. The pears continue thru and give it some edge. Very persistent finish. Drinking well, it won't get better but should last for another five years. A nice match with lighter summer foods or on its own.
