Donau Krone

Stagård

Stein a.d. Donau Handwerk Riesling 2018

Opening bottle for a special night out, paired with a modern Korean tasting menu. Color is a knockout goldenrod, with the bottle age bringing a rounded, textured mouthfeel really matching the raw fish, Unami notes, & intricate textures of the first 2/3 of the menu. Dried apple, sulfured apricot, & celery notes. Elegant & pretty long. While dry really approximates an aged German Reisling, with such a plump, yet refined acid backbone. — 2 months ago

Laubenheimer Krone 2016

So much flavor wrapped up in a bright, almost too easy to drink package. No mistaking this for anything but Riesling with an exuberant nose of tangerine, petrol, and pool toys. Great body with supple fruit and mouth watering acidity. Delicious now but sure to cellar well for at least a decade.

More info: the Tesch single plot wines are always spatlese trocken (usually around 12.5%), with around 4 g/l of RS and 7.8 g/l acidity, with no oak.

Krone vineyard: south east facing slopes, dry site with soils ranging from loess limestone to weathered sandstone.

Schlossberg Riesling 2018

Pale lemon, the Schlossberg is a touch more floral than the Krone, also showing aromas of lemon, lime, apple, ripe peach and flintstone. Old vines from low fertility slate soils on quarz provide plentiful concentration. This is a soft textured, medium-sweet Riesling with medium body and sharp acidity. Drink now until 2045. — 2 years ago

Schmelz

Best of Grüner Veltliner 2020

An den schönen blauen Donau; this producer grows wine along the river e.g. at Joching; greenish yellow color; nose of lime, honey, grape, spices, wildflowers, and some hydrocarbons; taste is spicy, almost effervescent white grapefruit-driven dry and long. A touch of sweetness could have opened this up. — 3 years ago

Smaragd Spitzer Donau Riesling 2015

Fet och koncentrerad. Mogen frukt där skal och stjälk fått åka med. Kanderad citron, vitpeppar och mineral. Känns som flaskan är inne i ett dumt mellanläge nu, skulle nog tjäna på några till års lagring. — 5 years ago
