Heiligenstein Riesling 2009

Wanted to compare two 2009 Rieslings - this from Kamptal Austria against the recently tasted Weinbach Grand Cru from Alsace This is mid Lemon in colour with more stone fruit namely peachy notes and flavours than the Alsatian Riesling both with low acid and both at their peak. Minerally gravelly notes also on the nose 2009 was an excellent vintage in Kamptal and adjoining regions along the Danube regions like Wachau. Another excellent mature Riesling at its peak. I would give the taste off to the Austrian by a nose. Thoroughly delicious. — 4 years ago

Imagine yourself drifting down the Danube River in the lower Austrian Wine region on a warm summer afternoon sipping a slightly chilled easy red wine and you will get a sense of what this wine is about. From its delightful aromatics of soft red fruits and wet stone to its clean acidity this light bodied Austrian offers just plain goodness on a cool crisp Canadian night. Cheers 🍷 — 6 years ago

@Phil A They also make a very nice Grüner Veltliner, if it makes it up to BC...

👍 Also update your bottle to the Zweigelt, but I bet the Muskateller from them is pretty good as well, never seen that bottle in the wild yet.

Some German named ‘Egon’ showed up in Slovakia to making some riesling at this Baron’s chateau along the Danube. Bone dry and mineral driven, and somehow earthy with douglas fir/turpentine notes; very Comme des Garçons. Ist gut. — 6 years ago

Kollmitz Federspiel Grüner Veltliner 2014

[Tasted on September 6, 2020 at Home]

Purchased at the winery during visit in 2015. Wine is classified as Federspiel (between 11.5% and 12.5% ABV), which generally connotes wines that are dry, medium bodied and well balanced. This Gruner is from the Kollmitz vineyard (steep terraced slopes with Danube gravel soil) and is bottled at 12.0% ABV. Pepper and flint on the nose. Green apple and pear fruit, white pepper and smoke, with minerality which shines through. Nice acidity.

Final wine for Danube cruise. Still surprisingly youthful and fresh tasting considering the vintage and age. Dark fruits tobacco earth and firm texture and good length. Good value for Americans on a French River cruise boat in Austria. — 5 years ago
