Any time I open a Riesling or GV from a reputable producer, I wonder why I don’t open them more often.
Great vintage, great Austrian producer.
I really enjoy the differences between Alsatian Rieslings, German Rieslings and Austrian Rieslings, the latter normally being a bit more textural/full-bodied (and higher in ABV at 13%, compared to the typical 8-10% range of the others). Pale yellow in the glass. White peach and a sweet lemon/lemongrass type of aromatic. Ripe stone fruits (more peach but also apricot) and minerals/slate alongside a spine of acidity that isn’t sharp, but balanced. Tasty. — 2 months ago

Kirchspiel Riesling 2015
😍😍😍
This wine has a gorgeously golden hue. 👁️
On the nose 👃🏻 and palate 👄 are pronounced notes of ripe peach, nectarine, apricot, papaya, white blossom, mandarin pith, kumquat, gardenia, honeysuckle, wet slate, petrol, lanolin, honey, smoke, beeswax, saline, saffron, and flint.
This wine is dry with racy acidity, a textured and mouth-filling quality, and complexity for days. As this wine warms in the glass, we keep uncovering layers! The finish lingers. This wine hits the spot! 🎯
Yet we have no doubt it has runway to age gaining more dried fruit characteristics and added complexity.

Light red. A bit of a pale pink at the meniscus. Smells like red fruit.medium to full bodied. Red fruit tastes. Medium tannins. Notes of strawberry, tomato and herbs, maybe oregano. A bit oaky at the back of the mouth. — a month ago

Descendientes de José Palacios
Villa de Corullon Bierzo Mencía 2022
Always fun to explore an indigenous varietal from Spain - especially when Alvaro Palacios is involved. I found this Mencia wine to be medium bodied with good acidity and structured tannins that were present in this young wine but not obnoxiously so. The fruit is darker dried red fruit that proved to be a good compliment with grilled shishito peppers. It was so nice to dive into a new aspect of Spain’s wine history. — 2 months ago

Lively and acidic but with potential for more. Decided we need to drink this more often. Dont quite have the massive structure of the GGs but still a fabulous wine! — 24 days ago
