Not the most expressive in terms of fruit, but there is a pretty herbal mid-palate and longish finish. Bone dry, and certainly with potential to improve. Very fine seam of citrus fruit, which keeps the wine alive, but lacks the Read more
Ripe and fairly low acid, with bruised pear and some fresh herbs. Attractive texture and concentration, but could use a little more vivacity. Finishes on a salty, mineral note.
Crunchy green apple, hint of sweetness, lovely acids. Generous, maybe a little short but already very enjoyable.
Sweet, slightly honeyed core, perhaps a bit lacking in primary fruit (some mandarin, pear) but plenty of excitement and a salty kick that keeps things fresh. Feels as though oak may have dampened this down at the moment.
Almost floral on the nose, big and blowsy, ripe pear, custard apple, soft and creamy. Perhaps oak has played a part in shaping this (although its subtle – fermentation took place partly in used large oak barrels and partly in Read more
Ripe lemon zest, open and easygoing. Lacking a bit of precision compared to its laser-like peers from this vineyard site.
Grapes from the same “monopole” erste lage vineyard as the regular Wechselberg Spiegel, but this time with 15% of the skins in the ferment. The end result feels less focused than the regular Spiegel, and the alcohol here starts to Read more
Tinned fruit salad nose, decent acidity, easy going stuff that doesn’t really scale the heights, but stays light and restrained (for Grüner Veltliner). I see a string of scores in the 90s listed on the winemaker’s site, from James Suckling Read more
