  1. Alzinger Riesling Steinertal Smaragd 2018
    Alzinger Riesling Steinertal Smaragd 2018

    A 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

  2. Salomon Undhof Gruner Veltliner Wieden 2021 375ml
    Salomon Undhof Gruner Veltliner Wieden 2021 375ml
    Salomon Undhof is a figurehead of the Austrian wine history. White wines have been produced here from some of the best ‘Grand Cru’ locations along the Danube for 225 years. Well-known vineyards like Steiner Kögl, Pfaffenberg, Lindberg or Wachtberg … Thanks to Bert Salomon, the winery today mainly stands for excellent dry Rieslings and Grüner Veltliner - long-lasting, elegant wines for which the house is famous. 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.

  3. Brundlmayer Ried Langenloiser Steinmassl Riesling 2021
    Brundlmayer Ried Langenloiser Steinmassl Riesling 2021
    From 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. STEPHAN RENHARDT, The Wine Advocate

  4. FX Pichler Riesling Klostersatz Federspiel 2022
    FX Pichler Riesling Klostersatz Federspiel 2022
    Lemons, 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. (Bone-dry) ANNE KREBIEHL MW, Vinous

  6. Alzinger Riesling Durnsteiner Federspiel 2022
    Alzinger Riesling Durnsteiner Federspiel 2022
    The 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, Vinous

  7. Schloss Gobelsburg Gaisberg Riesling 2021
    Schloss Gobelsburg Gaisberg Riesling 2021

    The 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.com

    Delightfully 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.  PAULA SIDORE, jancisrobinson.com
