Vintage 2014 — 10 years ago
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
This is totally freaky. It takes like flame broiled green onions. — 9 years ago
Super chalky minerality, bright, almost effervescent acidity. Mouthfeel is almost bubbly. — 10 years ago
A ripe and delicious FX experience, a lot more lush than expected. — 10 years ago
Further outtakes ... Brilliantly on point, although Alzinger always is. — 11 years ago
Nice nose mostly apples. Great acidity but balanced and a nice finish. Where have all these Austrians been all my life? Eminently quaffable — 10 years ago
