Hirsch Ried Heiligenstein Riesling 2019This is the Romanee-Conti of the Kamptal, and one of the very greatest Riesling vineyards on earth - just sayin'. This fucker (and no other word will do) is blazing from whichever glass I slop it into, and without laboring the point, here we have an instance of, um, terroir making itself known.
Even from the "little" Spiegelau this wine rocks the world. Do you know the smell of really fresh ground sweet Paprika? Inferentially, do you know the smell of Espelette pepper? It's kind of the same. But then Heiligenstein is a site beloved of associations, and you could gather a few dozen if you collated everyone's tasting notes.
There's a sense in which it isn't even "Riesling" any more. Except what else could read this terrroir so clearly?
Jancis rocks this wine. The mineral underpinning shows, and you get a hint of where the wine will go in a few years. It's wonderful to taste now but also absurd to drink now. I'm not pouring another glass for three days. To drink it now is like listening to someone reading a poem while the TV's on. Turn it off and listen, or forget it until all of you is there.
It is the classic wine that defies the craving for explicable, instant gratification. You'd need to be into wine. You'd need a decent cellar, and a modicum of patience. But I'm not sure you can fathom what waits for you on the other side… TERRY THEISE

Alzinger Riesling Steinertal Smaragd 2018A flinty whiff of reduction appears first, then a notion of passion fruit, but the flavors home in on ripe tangerine and Meyer lemon. These aromatic citrus notions swirl on the palate, offering up hints of juicy peach here and riper tangerine there. All of this exuberance is anchored in a stony and slender but solid core. The mild freshness carries all to a lingering, dry finish. Drink 2025–2045. ANNE KREBIEHL MW
The 2018 Riesling Smaragd Ried Steinertal is clear, coolish and flinty on the remarkable mineral, herbal and concentrated nose. Crystalline, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a great 2018 Riesling classic from the Wachau. The palate is lush and perfectly ripe but very elegant, fine and sustainable in its crystalline and crunchy structure and its salivating salinity. A fascinating wine. slightly smoky spice with a faintly floral accompaniment – that’s a nice nose. There’s impressive intensity here, weight but never heavy. Slightly structural finishing but very long. This is showing beautifully. STEPHEN REINHHARDT, www.robertparker.com

Prieler Johanneshöhe Blaufränkisch 2019The Prieler estate, in Schützen on the western side of the Lake Neusiedl, is a historic old farm, once dedicated to many types of agriculture but now specializing in grape growing. Two generations of the Prieler family now run the estate: Engelbert and Irmgard, who in 1972 focused the estate on quality production of several grape varieties, mainly blaufränkisch and Burgundian varieties. Their son, Georg, now heads the estate and continues working to best express the unique terroir of the Leithagebirge.
Freshness and elegance on show here rather than power and structure. Currant and cranberry fruit flecked with dark cherry and raspberry throughout. Some ground coffee and pepper spice intrigue. The palate is silky, fresh and playful with crystalline acidity, supple tannins and a lingering sour cherry aroma on the aromatic close. Such a great example and really makes you wonder why we don't drink more here.

PETER MOSER, Falstaff, August 2019
Classic looking white pepper with fresh cut apple and bosch pear squeezed with a little lemon twist and sprinkled with soft, green herbs. Certainly not light but not big or bold. Comes with a gentle grip and lick of phenolics. Zingy finish with a flourish of green tree fruits and a little mineral twang out the back.2020Gruner VeltlinerAustria501$34.00 As low as $30.60 -

Rudi Pichler Terrassen Smaragd Riesling 2021A focused, minerally wine, offering alluring floral, white tea, citrus and honeysuckle notes wrapped around a core of chalky crushed flint, with a dusting of white pepper. Tightly coiled and complex and crackling with energy, this is shy now but has a lot of power in reserve. Drink now through 2035. WINE SPECTATOR2021RieslingAustria501$75.00 As low as $67.50 -
Brundlmayer Ried Langenloiser Steinmassl Riesling 2021From a south-southeast-facing cru on Gföhler gneiss soils and ranging from 240 to 340 meters in altitude, the 2021 Riesling Ried Steinmassl 1ÖTW was picked on October 18 and 19, then macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine shows a clear and intense, pure and elegant nose with ripe and elegant fruit aromas intertwined with spicy and saline notes. Crystalline and savory on the palate, this is a medium-bodied yet supple and tightly structured Steinmassl with clear, defined fruit and fine tannins intermingled with the saline acidity. Very long and complex finish. It's still on its way but very promising. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2022.

Domane Wachau Liebenberg Federspiel 2022Lemongrass, slate, white pepper and fennel waft from the glass. Medium-bodied, dry and gently bitter palate with lots of minerals. Almost chalky feel. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap. JAMES SUCKLING2021Gruner VeltlinerAustria347$42.00 As low as $37.80 -
FX Pichler Riesling Klostersatz Federspiel 2022Lemons, apple blossom, lime curd and white peaches on the nose. Some lime sherbet. Mouthwateringly fresh and bright, with a medium body, tangy acidity and a long, zesty and dry finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold. Screw cap. JAMES SUCKLING
The 2022 Riesling Klostersatz is Pichler’s only Riesling from a flatter site in the valley, simply because the Danube gravel has hardly any topsoil here, and the ground is too meager for Grüner Veltliner. The nose is immediately fragrant, adding a perfumed top note of green Seville orange on ripe stone fruit—intensely fragrant, verging on bright apricot. The palate is juicy, slender and looser than the nose suggests, but it is immensely scented, animated, light-footed and fresh. This is a wine for a summer's day.

Moric Blaufrankisch 2021Expressive nose of red fruit with a lot of earthy depth! Excellent concentration for this humble category, with fine, powdery tannins and lively but ripe acidity. Complex finish with notes of clove, black pepper, cardamon and wild herbs. Salty touch, too. Drink or hold. SUART PIGOTT, James Suckling
The 2021 Blaufränkisch was harvested partly in the Leithagebirge but mostly from Lutzmannsburg in Mittelburgenland. It was fermented spontaneously in open cuve and matured in used barrels between 500 and 4,000 liters for 14 months. With a touch of smoky reduction, a tender note of blood on the nose takes a while to shine through. The wine spreads across the mouth in a smooth, almost cooling, soothing fashion, with a gentleness that holds dark petals like peony, aromatic tart, dark cherry and tart cranberry. The body is light, with just a veil of fine tannins that crinkle like chiffon. The 2021 is tender, red-fruited, bright and lasting.

Rosi Schuster Saint Laurent 2022Brimming with red-cherry fruit and joyful freshness. Wonderful interplay of extremely fresh fruit, fine tannins and lively acidity on the barely medium-bodied palate. Excellent balance at the delicate and animating, long finish. Amazing for just 11% alcohol! From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Alzinger Riesling Durnsteiner Federspiel 2022The 2022 Riesling Dürnsteiner Federspiel was picked from various smaller parcels on the foot of the Loibenberg, including terraces of Loibenberg and Burgstall. Exquisitely pure bergamot notes are fragrant and enticing on the nose. The palate is chiseled, fine and taut, with a slightly riper note of citrus that reminds of Meyer lemon, yet still with the fragrant green citrus frisson. This is a bright, pure wine of exquisite slenderness and citrus fragrance. (Bone-dry) ANNE KREBIEHL MW, Vinous2008Gruner VeltlinerAustria501$56.00 As low as $50.40 -
Schloss Gobelsburg Gaisberg Riesling 2021The 2021 Riesling Ried Gaisberg is on gneiss, schist and amphibolite.
Crushed ivy and citrus leaf overlay an almost savory, salty notion of wet earth. The palate is rounded and juicy-almost bouncy with lively energy. Bright, lemon-fringed stone fruit notes skip away in such a joyful fashion that the underlying stony seriousness is almost skipped over. In coming years, the stoniness will gain the upper hand, but, for now, the playfulness of these aromas-leafy top notes and citric charm-quite rightly enjoy the limelight. This is lovely and slender, with a serious, stony, cool core and a beautifully long finish. (Bone-dry) ANNE KREBIEHL MW, wineadvocate.comDelightfully blatantly aromatic - I mean three-feet-from-the-glass aromatic. Did I mention it also smells marvelous?…This wine, while snappy and bracing in the '21 "type," is a rare success in the everyday echelon… The wine leads with verbena, lemon balm and hyssop; it's more herbal than precisely mineral… It shows a sort of macro-terroir of Kamptal - of Austria overall, really - and while the weight and outlines are sleek and cool, the flavors are purely Austrian… It's another wine that held steady over the days…It's also the kind of wine I call "coniferous," (or fir when I'm being literal and Christmas Tree when I'm being colorful…) TERRY THEISE
The Riesling terraces are among the oldest vineyards cultivated by Schloss Gobelsburg. Complex aromas of ripe stone fruit and toast. A rich and powerful spice is outlined with just enough fruit and stone to carry it all the way home. Lively, shaping acidity and delicate citrus finish.

Hiedler Gaisberg Riesling 2021Sourced from two terraces and predominantly rooting in a rocky subsoil of paragneiss, Hiedler's 2021 Ried Gaisberg 1ÖTW Riesling is dense and spicy on the nose, showing ripe and concentrated bright fruit with subtle earthy notes. Round and elegant on the palate, with juicy richness, well-integrated mineral acidity and persistent ripe fruit flavors on the salty, grippy finish, this is still a young Gaisberg but with promising potential. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. STEPHAN RHEINHARDT, vinous.com
Anyone who thinks that dry riesling is always lean and austere should dive into this deep pool of ripe peach and apricot to discover the grape's sensual side. Generous and creamy, but without any sense of weight, this combines ripeness with zesty freshness at the bright finish. Drink or hold. STUART PIGOTT
Gaisberg is often spectral, as if its flavors were placed in your hands by a ghost dressed as a bride. Part of that is present here, but there's also a quantum concentration of mineral, catapulted upward by a slingshot of acidity. The wine is so amazing it borders on the implausible.
The grip and the mere impact on the physical palate are impossible to resist. Yet there a higher octave of flavor that wisps up into the air like the vapors from frozen nitrogen. It's a concatenation of lemons and freesia; it alludes to basmati; it alludes, hauntingly, to white peaches and to blueberries, part of an incipience of sweetness that turns it from prose into music.
It's introverted but passionate, classical but not stodgy, and it is in every way wonderful. It almost isn't "Riesling" any more. It's just Gaisberg; I know it from Gobelsburg and Hirsch, and this site is quite particular, spectral and subtle; it whispers its strange tongue and you feel an opiate tingle - What is this wine doing to me? It smells a little like Champagne, this cool high chiming, this cryptic bliss. It is a very rare wine, that delivers as many poignant questions as this one does.
