2021 Weinbau & Heuriger Stoiber Gelber Muskateller Ried Limberg, Austria, Wine Review

Vintage:

Grade: 
B+

Very aromatic wine.  Silvery/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is pretty.  Perfumed with lychee nuts and slight herbal notes (wild thyme?).  Medium bodied.  On the palate, moderate acidity with pear.  Moderate finish.  Not a lot of depth here but very enjoyable for what it is.  Drink over the next few years.  Nice on its own, this will work well with lighter dishes.  Soft cheeses such as brie would work well.

Green/gold in color.  The nose has some tropical fruits along with some minerality.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is dry.  Tart Mango fruit with some minerality.  Good finish.  This is easy drinking on its own and will work with lighter foods.  Chicken salad would be a nice choice.  Drink over the next five years.

Yellow gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with minerals and slight peach.  Medium bodied.  Moderate acidity.  On the palate, minerals and slight peach again.  some depth.  Dry tannins.  Moderate finish.  This should drink well for the next ten years.  Better with food.  A nice wine with fried zuchini or other veggies.

Yellow gold in color.  The nose is clean with lots of minerality and slight apricots.  Medium bodied.  On the palate, the minerality carries thru.  Some peach.  Moderate acidity.  solid finish.  This is a very food friendly wine.  It will work well with Thai food.  Drink over the next five to eight years.

Probably the best tasted at this Heuriger.  Green/silvery/gold in color.  The nose has limes, slight asparagus and white pepper.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, this has some depth and complexity.  It unwinds in the glass.  Limes with some herbs and white pepper.  Long finish.  Drink over the next ten years.  A nice wine with grilled salmon.

Maybe my favorite vineyard from this winery   At least in 2021, very impressive   Green/silver/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose takes a bit to open, then shows limes with slight pepper.  Medium bodied.  Oily texture.  On the palate, tart limes.  Nice depth.  Good finish but slight heat.  This needs a year or two to come together and then, should drink well for ten years.   Better with food.  This would be great with fried chicken

Very pretty Gruner.  Green/silver/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is floral with green herbs (summer savory?).  medium bodied.  Light tannins.  This was one of the more minerals driven Gruner's tasted with a strong almost "granite" quality.  Also some tart lemons.  Good finish.  This begs for food.  Goat cheese would be an excellent match, especially and aged hard version.  Drink over the next five years.

Green/silvery gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is still quote tight.  Some lemons and a bit of white pepper.  Slightly oily texture.  Medium bodied.  Firm tannins.  On the palate, lemons but some heat on the finish.  This needs more cellar time or at least a decant and it should improve.  Wait another year or two and drink over the next five.  Nice with cold cuts and cheese.  

2019 Weingut Willi Bründlmayer Pinot Noir Reserve, Austria, Langenloiser, Kaferberg, Wine Review

Vintage:

Grade:

2019 was an excellent and ripe vintage in Lower Austria.  It allowed Brundlmayer to make a very nice Pinot Noir.  Light ruby in color, clear and bright.  The nose has nice cherries, some cranberries and some black cherries along with a bit of spice.  Bright acidity.  Lovely texture.  Light tannins.  On the palate, cherries with slight underlying earthiness.  Good finish.  This is young and it could use three to five more years of cellaring.  It should drink for ten to twelve years after that.  It would work nicely with roasted duck or chicken.

Interesting to taste this as it is an attempt at a more serious Zweigelt.  Garnet in color, clear and bright.  The nose has black cherries, spice and a touch of cloves.  Good acidity.  Medium bodied.  Firm tannins.  On the palate, black cherries,  with slight black raspberries.  A bit of depth.  Nice finish.  This is a step up from the regular 2019.  It should be consumed in the next five to seven years.  A nice match for grilled lamb chops.
