Hiedler Riesling Ried Heiligenstein Erste Lage 2021, 0.75L
Riesling from Kamptal, Kamptal
"Sourced from 60-year-old vines, Hiedler's 2021 Ried Heiligenstein 1ÖTW Riesling shows clear, open, bright and elegant fruit with herbal as well as earthy notes of broken rock. Juicy, intense and dense in the mouth, this is a powerful and firmly structured, still somewhat bitter Heiligenstein that needs some time to develop its full size. It's undoubtedly a great Riesling from the Kamptal. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Grafenegg in September 2022." 94+ Points, Stephen Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Schloss Gobelsburg Tradition Heritage Cuvee 50 Years NV, .750L
Gruner Veltliner / Riesling / Grüner Sylvaner / Muskat Sylvaner / Riesling Sylvaner / Welschriesling / Muskat Ottonen / Trainer / Muskateller from Kamptal, Kamptal
"Intensely golden-yellow in color, the NV Tradition Heritage Cuvée 50 Years Edition 850 blends several grape varieties and a wide range of vintages from the last 50 years, starting with the 1970 vintage. The nose opens precise, lean and fresh, with bright and spicy fruit and flinty notes. On the palate, this treasure is crystalline, tight, reductive and very elegant, with a long and tensioned finish. This Jubilee edition reveals remarkable finesse and grip and represents the historical spirit and substance of the castle. Due to the matured wines from the 1970s and 1980s, this is a leaner, more filigreed style than the newer assemblages that contain only barrel-stored reserve wines from the Michael Moosbrugger era. The wine is doubtlessly very impressive. To create the blend, many bottles of the wine library were opened, tasted and decanted into small vessels that were then, little by little, blended into a cuvée. "It demands a clarity of vision and long years of experience with the wines of the Danube River region to compose a cuvée of this style," says Moosbrugger. "The different soils and the various grape varieties demand an understanding of their nature and their functionality in a blend, in order to create a wine like this."
Thirty-three percent of the cuvée is from vintages of the most recent decade (2011, 2013, 2014 and 2017), 37% from 2000, 2002-2005, 2007 and 2009), 7% from the 1990s (1991, 1993, 1994, 1996, 1998, 1999), 12% from the 1980s (1980, 1981-1984, 1986, 1987, 1989) and 11% from the 1970s (1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1977 und 1979). As Michael Mooesbrugger says, "The Jubilee cuvée combines 25 years of monastic culture with 25 years of modern wine culture." (Moosbrugger started at Schloss Gobelsburg in 1996, so exactly 25 years ago.)..." 98 Points, Stephen Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Stagard Kremstal Riesling Steiner Braunsdorfer 2017, 0.75L
Riesling from Niederösterreich, Kremstal
The 2017 Ried Braunsdorfer is clear, pure, deep and stony on the nose, with perfectly ripe fruit with notes of stone fruits. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, dense, round, complex and enormously salty but also tender Riesling with great power, tension and vital length. This is an enormously expressive but fine and crunchy Riesling with great finesse and delicate tension. A great but delicate wine. 96 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Grüner Veltliner from Wachau, Niederösterreich
"Assembling the fruit from several vineyards that were picked in the first half of October, the 2018 Spitz Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Rotes Tor offers a clear, ripe and elegant nose of tropical fruits intermixed with elegant and flinty terroir notes. Ripe and piquant on the crystalline and salty palate, this is an elegant and already pretty complex Veltliner with an aromatic and refreshing, elegant finish with good grip. . ." 90 Points Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate

Nikolaihof Gruner Veltliner Hefeabzug 2021, 0.75L
Grüner Veltliner from Wachau, Niederösterreich
"The bright nose of flint, green apple and cassis pulls you into this refreshing young gruner veltliner, which has stacks of fresh-herb character and plenty of depth on the medium-bodied palate. Crisp finish with nice wet-stone minerality. Matured sur-lie until immediately before bottling. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now.

Nikolaihof Gruner Veltliner Zwickl 2021, 0.75L
Grüner Veltliner from Wachau, Niederösterreich
"The yeastiness of this light yet expressive gruner veltliner neatly underlines the fresh-herb character and balances the zesty acidity. Long, quite creamy finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Unfiltered, so gently shake the bottle before serving to make sure the yeast is well mixed with the wine. Drink now. Screw cap." 91 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

Nikolaihof Steiner Hund Riesling 2017, 0.75L
Riesling from Wachau, Niederösterreich
"Another stunning Steiner Hund dry riesling from Nikolaihof! Deep and complex nose with a ton of flint, but also crushed-rock, quince and pomelo aromas. For the very warm vintage this is astonishingly cool and restrained, with beautiful wet-stone minerality intertwined with the elegant acidity. Very long, silky finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold." 95 Points, James Suckling. JamesSuckling.com

Pichler-Krutzler Riesling In der Wand 2019, 0.75L
Riesling from Wachau, Niederösterreich
"A hint of creaminess creeps deliciously into the orange zest notes on the nose. The palate comes on light feet but is vibrant with zesty notes of ripe orange and Amalfi lemon. The body is slender but concentrated, almost fizzing with ripe and utterly fresh zestiness. The finish is clean, taut and dry with lasting, mouthwatering citrus. . ." 94 Points Anne Krebiehl MW, Wine Enthusiast

Schloss Gobelsburg Kammern Gruner Veltliner Ried Lamm 1 OTW 2019, 0.75L
Gruner Veltliner from Kamptal, Niederösterreich
"The intensely yellow-colored 2019 Kammern Ried Lamm 1ÖTW was vinified in new 50-hectoliter oak vats and aged on the fine lees until July 2020. The nose is clearly influenced by its crystalline subsoils and delivers a coolish-mineral, flinty tone next to the perfectly ripe, elegant and finely concentrated white fruit that is discreet and refined like green tea. On the palate, this is a rich, piquant, very elegant, highly refined and persistently salty Veltliner that develops an enormously long and complex, finely tannic and sustainably structured finish. This is a great, very promising wine that assembles everything in the starting block to go a long distance. 13.5% alcohol. Tasted at Schloss Gobelsburg in June 2021." 96 Points, Stephen Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Sauvignon Blanc from Vulkanland Steiermark, Straden
"Neumeister's 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Ried Moarfeitl GSTK offers a clear, complex and dense nose with fine soil spice and lots of iodine. Delicate on the palate, yet with substance and plenty of salt—most of all in the finish—this is a remarkably purist and fresh Moarfeitl with personality and a lot of finesse and elegance but also complexity. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Grafenegg in September 2022." 93 Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

F.X. Pichler Riesling Ried Burgstall Federspiel 2018, 0.75L
Riesling from Wachau, Wachau
"The 2018 Ried Burgstall Riesling Federspiel is super clear and fresh on the aromatic nose with its perfectly ripe white peach and apricot aromas. Salty, pure and fresh on the crunchy, nicely reductive palate, this is a precise dry Riesling with grip and tension. Tasted after the 2017 and 2018 Unendlich Veltliners, this is a great refreshment but not easy to evaluate exactly. However, it can still stand, and that's not the worst sign. It is ripe and fresh but not green or vegetal, just grippy and refreshingly racy. Tasted at the domain in September 2019." Stephen Reinhardt, Wine Advocate

Bernhard Ott Gruner Veltliner Ried Rosenberg 2017, 0.75L
Gruner Veltliner from Wagram, Wagram
"From 60-year-old vines picked on September 29, Ott's Feuersbrunner 2017 Grüner Veltliner Ried Rosenberg 1ÖTW is super clear, precise and fresh on the nose where tropical and stone fruit aromas such as apricots, white peaches, nectarines, papayas and mangos are displayed. Full-bodied, lush and round with very fine acidity and good structure, this is a densely woven, fleshy, super elegant, persistent and very powerful Veltliner with an impressive but slightly massive finish. Super sexy but I tend to prefer the Spiegel from the 2017 vintage. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg and three weeks later in Vienna, both September 2018." 93 Points, Stephen Reinhardt, Wine Advocate
