Austria

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.  

Green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is deep with lots of minerality.  Some peaches and a slight citrus note.  Medium bodied.  Nice balance.  On the palate, this has a nice tight complexity that will unwind over the years.  Peach with underlying minerality.  Good finish.  One of the most enjoyable wines from a tasting of this producer.  It drinks well now and should improve with some age.  Either way, this will drink well over the next ten to twelve years.  It drinks well on its own and would work well with fried foods.  

Golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has great minerality.  Slight lemons.  Medium bodied.  Light tannins.  On the palate, the minerality comes thru.  This is dry.  And herbal note, especially on the finish.  Lots of depth.  This is drinking well now and should continue for another ten years.  Nice on its own, this will work well with Thai food.  

Yellow gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice and all about the minerality.  Medium bodied.  Nice acidity.  Slightly crisp texture which works well.  On the palate, guava and slight pineapple.  Good finish.  This is drinking well now and should continue for ten to twelve more years.  Nice on its own, this will work well with fried foods.  

Yellow/gold in color, clear and bright.  Great nose.  sort of "Juicy Fruit" gum with some minerality.  Nice texture.  Moderate acidity.  The palate matches the nose.  Solid finish.  This is a nice, easy drinking dry Riesling.  It drinks nicely on its own and will work with lighter foods such as a fruit or seafood salad.  

Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is smoky with minerals.  Medium bodied.  Light acidity.  On the palate, some minerality and some orange peel.  Long finish.  A nice, easy to drink Riesling that will also work with most foods.  Thai food will work well.  Drink over the next five to eight years. 

Neuburger is a white Austrian wine grape. The grape is a crossing of Roter Veltliner and Sylvaner.  From a vineyard near the town of Elsam.  Yellow gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is interesting.  A sort of "yellow currant."  Good acidity.  Nice texture.  The yellow berry quality continues thru to the palate, but slight bitter note on the finish.  Overall a nice wine that is just a bit different.  It seems food friendly and would work with lighter foods.  Drink over the next few years.  

Medium golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has slight smoke with asparagus and slight white pepper.  Nice mouthfeel.  Good acidity.  Lime zest with nice minerality on the palate.  Long finish.  Drinking well now on its own.  This will work well with a wide variety of foods.  Veal chops would work well.  Drink over the next five to seven years.  

Very nice showing for this wine.  Golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose has limes, smoke/sulfur and slight white pepper.  Medium bodied.  Moderate acidity.  On the palate, lime with some hay notes.  Really pleasant, long finish.  The acidity here helps this become more food friendly although it still drinks well on its own.  It will work well with fried chicken and other fried foods.  Drink over the next five to seven years.  

Light golden in color.  The nose features limes, herbal notes and some alcohol.  Medium bodied.  Low acidity.  On the palate, limes.  Some warmth on the finish.  This drinks nicely on its own.  Its a bigger wine than most GV's.  Drink over the next three to five years.
