An aged, 2015 vintage high-end Riesling from the Gaisberg single-vineyard site, displaying bright green yellow hue with silver reflections. Subtle aromas of mango and papaya, over honeyed characters and fresh orange zest. Juicy, elegant texture, ripe white fruit aromas, crisp acidity and a mineral character aftertaste.

CRITIC RATINGS

"Good complexity, juicy, white vine peach, finesse-rich acidity, lemony touch on the finish, elegant and persistent, very easy drinking style." (Peter Moser, Wineguide 2017/2018)
93 Falstaff

This has been built for the long term, but the intensity of dried herbs and baking spices on the nose is already very impressive. Breathtaking energy and precision on the very mineral palate. Very long, tantalizing finish with stunning complexity.
