Concentrated, deep, nimble and painfully young. Needs 5-6 years. — 4 days ago

I’ve enjoyed this producer for a few years (specifically the Felseneck GG) but this is my first experience with their Spatlese Riesling from 2013. Followed over two days.

Next to a ‘22 Clemens Busch Auslese and a ‘22 Kloster Eberbach Baiken Erste Lage Trocken, the richness here was Goldilocks…right down the middle. Not a dynamite vintage, yet I’ve found I traditionally enjoy the Spatlese-level and above sweet wines from cooler vintages as the acid and sweetness play nicely together. Exhibit A. Ripe nectarine and white peach aromatically but also plenty of citrus notes. Lemon-lime and limestone grit dance on the mid-palate before a mineral + honeyed profile bring about an elegantly rich profile complemented by both the classical mineral and sweet Spatlese notes. Crushable at 7.5 ABV!

Enjoyable now and I’m not sure it gets better from here, just different. Consistent over both nights. — 5 months ago

Nose: dusty yellow flowers.

Palate: dense. Yellow fruits. Tasty. Muted. As it opens lemon peel.

Have not tired of this recent Austrian find. A ‘natural’ wine but enough old world Chardonnay stuffing to let me ignore the label. — 6 months ago

A great value, quality blaufränkisch from the Burgenland. Look forward to finding some of their single vineyard expressions. — 9 months ago

Very light colored

Light bodied and has a sweetness to it that makes you wonder if this is really a dry wine.

It develops more complexity and some lime zest flavor with more airtime

Overall good but not great. — 10 months ago
