Tricky blind if there wasn't a preceding Portugieser in the line-up. Very elegant with notes of cherries, roses, and dried spices, along with a touch of smoke and musk. Fresh and juicy on the palate. Simpler, but very enjoyable - an impressive effort considering the varietal. — 2 years ago
Just opened this. One can tell this will be a journey. I would only open this if you have at least 2-3 hours to Taste it. It’s all over the place on open. Basically tastes like if Ziereisen made wine in the mountains.
Nose is dense but has that alpine thing you get from like savoie. Very pretty. Almost intoxicating. Like a field of flowering cherry trees on top of a mountain.
Palate is very bright. Sweet cherry fruit.
A 9.5 easy on open. I’m guessing this will be better as it airs and integrates.
As this opens holy fuck. Nose is alpine with some gevrey spice. Palate is rubber made from grape vines (I know impossible), cherry. Rich. Elegant Cherry extract. Just a kiss of bitterness. Wowowowowo. So elegantly rich. Unbelievable.

Frisk med saftig frukt med hög fräschör. Stenfrukt, blommor, jasmin, lime med distrikt salt avslut som får det att vattnas i munnen. Vinhus med anor från 1400-talet som ägs av staden Krems. Från 0,45 Ha av den terrasserade vingården Ried Schreck i Kremstal. Mycket bra. — 3 years ago

Don’t drink enough Austrian Riesling - probably because I don’t see it very often. This was dazzling w/greenish hue to a pale straw color w/vivid lemon & lime fruit & their blossoms, and tons of slate & stones. Palate was laser focused, nervy acidity, polished presentation, refreshing bracing and a sweet spot of fruit from the nose before ending bone dry. I might buy a few to lay down — 8 months ago
Probably my favorite Riesling of the Austrian Riesling lunch at FLXcursion — 3 years ago
Sipping Fine Wine
One of the signature grapes of Austria, pale lemon with aromas of white flesh fruits, spice, biscuit and fresh floral notes. On the palate pear, melon and tangy lemon citrus flavors with earthy tones and spice. Well balanced, medium finish ending with lemon zest and mineral character. Very Nice value. — 22 days ago
