Hiedler – Riesling Ried Gaisberg 2019
Lime and white blossom scented, this medium bodied Riesling feels pretty expressive and fresh, but lacks a little precision. It’s enjoyable and fresh without scaling the heights.
Wieninger – Riesling Ried Rosengartel 2019
Fatter and rounder than Preussen (Wieninger’s other Riesling parcel in Nussberg), this is a balanced style that handles its ripeness and alcohol with real skill. It’s a little hard to recognise as Riesling, but the winemaking can’t be faulted.
Wieninger – Riesling Ried Preussen 2019
Ripe, and loaded with exotic fruits – guava and pear. A salty streak lends excitement to this wine, and the lees-influence on the texture also creates the perfect foil. Wieninger seems to have a knack for managing this very ripe Read more
Mayer am Pfarrplatz – Riesling Ried Preussen 2019
Chalky and limey, what’s lovely about this ripe Riesling is not just its citrus zest and lively acids, but also the delicate leesy texture – a wonderfully structured and balanced wine that is ready to drink now but will surely Read more
Fuhrgassl-Huber – Riesling Ried Preussen 2019
A limey and fairly delicate Riesling that’s already very expressive. Filled with ripe lemon and lime peel and zesty mineral salts, it’s a real charmer.
Wien Cobenzl – Riesling Ried Preussen 2019
A ripe and rather oak-dominated Riesling that, right now, isn’t expressing a great deal. There’s lemon zest and delicate minerals on the finish, but the body and the acidity feel ever so slightly flat – perhaps due to the oak Read more
Wieninger – Grüner Veltliner Ried Preussen 2019
With a delightfully floral nose, filled with white flowers and peach, this Grüner deftfully manages its prodigious alcohol and seems very light on its feet. Citrus notes propel the wine forward, and its subtle leesy finish is divine. This shows Read more
Edlmoser – Weißburgunder Ried Himmel 2018
Dominated by wood shavings and cinnamon, this is a bit of a new oak bomb. There is already a substantial amount of development on the nose – at least, some oxidative ageing suggested. Worrying in such a young wine, and Read more
Hajszan Neumann – Weißburgunder Ried Gollin 2019
Elegant and focused, there’s really nice integrated acidity that lifts this wine, with aromas of freshly sliced pear and ripe melon. The fruit is deliciously ripe, but mineral too. It has the typically open, aerated texture that is so charming Read more
Fuhrgassl-Huber – Grüner Veltliner Ried Gollin 2019
Basalmic-tinged peach aromas and a little bit of dirt on the nose too… but the palate is very expressive with ripe pear and peach fruit, and a delicate saline tang on the finish. A nicely judged Grüner that, although ripe, Read more
