Tasted at the winery. 12% ABV. Yellow/gold in color, clear and bright. Great nose with wet rocks and a slight lemony note. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, the lemon notes are a bit stronger. Good minerality. Long finish. This is a bit lighter in style but still has depth and complexity. It is drinking well now and should continue for the next ten to twelve years. Very food friendly. It is dry. It should work very well with Thai food.
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.
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
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.
Tasted at their Tasting Room in Durnstein (while waiting for my wife to shop). Glad I stopped. This is an enjoyable Riesling. Silvery/green in color, clear and bright. The nose show yellow grapefruit and some minerality. Light bodied. On the palate, nice tart acidity. Dry. Grapefruit with underlying minerality. Long finish. This drinks easy but has some depth too. It should drink well for the next ten to twelve years. On its own or with food, this is a great value. This would be great with fried appetizers or even popcorn.
Silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has slight apple with some peaches along with a nice minerality. Good acidity. Nice texture. One of those wines that seems like it will have some sweetness but is in fact, dry to the taste. On the palate, a bit of grapefruits and a bunch of peaches and minerality. Light bodied but with plenty or energy. It drinks easily. Delicious. This needs a few more years to full maturity, but is still nice now. Drink over the next twenty years (or more). This would work well with Thai curries.
