Riesling
2020 Muller, Egon - Scharzhofberger Kabinett
The “regular” 2020 Riesling Scharzhofberger Kabinett (bearing A.P. #3) leads with quince and peach accented by mint, cress, ginger and lemon, setting up an overall impression of coolness, but also of brightness, with stimulating cut and pungency analog...
2020 Muller, Egon - Scharzhofberger Spatlese
The 2020 Riesling Scharzhofberger Spätlese A.P. #6 reflects numerous parcels and pickings with largely healthy fruit but slight botrytis influence. Quince and white peach hover between fresh and jellied, overlain with heady, musky perfume of peony and ...
2020 Muller, Egon - Scharzhofberger Qba
An off-dry riesling beauty with very attractive white-flower and white-fruit aromas, a hint of green-apple freshness lifting the medium-bodied palate. Precise balance at the long, clean finish. Drink or hold.
2002 Nikolaihof - Riesling Vinothek
From the Im Weingebirge single vineyard, the 2002 Riesling Vinothek has been aged slightly filtered and sulfured for 16 years in a 6,000-liter oak cask. Bottled in July 2018, the brilliantly white-golden colored wine is fascinatingly clear and bright on t...
1997 Nikolaihof - Riesling Vinothek Severin Fass
The 1997 Riesling Vinothek Severin Fass was aged for 25 years in a large, traditional oak cask (filtered, though not on the lees) and opens with an intense yet pure, fresh and spicy, finely oaky bouquet with a deep, mineral tone of crushed stones. On the ...
2013 Pewsey Vale - Riesling Eden Valley The Contours Museum Reserve
Shimmering, green-tinged straw. Pungent, mineral-driven citrus and orchard fruit scents are complemented by suggestions of succulent herbs and flowers. Chewy and focused on the palate, offering energetic lemon pith, pear skin, quinine and honeysuckle flav...
2022 Pichler, Rudi - Riesling Smaragd Achleithen
The 2022 Riesling Achleiten Smaragd opens with a flinty, smoky aspect before its citrus focus kicks in. The palate is light and transparent, with a lovely fill of fruit held in a tight and stony frame. Gazelle-like, this is incredibly stone-like in nat...
2022 Pichler, Rudi - Riesling Smaragd Hochrain
The 2022 Riesling Hochrain Smaragd sports a smoother, gentler vibe. Despite its linearity, there is a guiding light of stone fruit juiciness. It is slightly more generous and more emollient in style, but it shows great precision. Taut, juicy and bright...
2022 Pliger,P. - Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC Riesling Kuen Hof Kaiton
An attractive mix of ripe lemons, fresh peaches and honeysuckle with dried flowers and stony minerality. Impressive tension with medium to full body and nervy, linear acidity that cuts though the palate. Super steady and fresh. Long and crisp finish. Dri...
2021 Prager - Riesling Smaragd Klaus
Enticing and subtle nose of Yamanashi white peach, wild berries and herbs. Ripe, but also seriously concentrated and elegant, this has deep minerality at the very long and focused finish. This is built for the long term, but is already really delicious. D...
