2011 vintage. Light golden hue. Mineral, chalky, peaches and stone fruits to the fore. Quite ripe. On the palate, dry (probably more than 4g of residual but acidity masks the sugar), medium plus body,high alcohol, high extract, long and persistent finish and huge refreshing, tangy acidity, especially on the finish. Peaches and apricots, lemon zest from the acidity, crisp and long textured wine with real weight. Love it. More similar to an Alsatian Riesling than a Mosel/Rheingau Riesling, and although weighty, no noticeable TDN notes or lime juice zest of a High Eden or Clare Valley Aussie Riesling. — 11 years ago
Further outtakes ... Brilliantly on point, although Alzinger always is. — 11 years ago
Very complex, layers of sweet lime, apricot, some flowers and green apple. Delightful milky texture. — 10 years ago
A ripe and delicious FX experience, a lot more lush than expected. — 10 years ago
Pure essence of GV. Fresh, intensive with floral and fruits aromas. A bit of minerality and papper. — 11 years ago

Like the federspiel riesling-- racy and nuanced. Vibrant but tight. Should develop well in bottle. — 10 years ago
