Vom Berg Rotgipfler 2023

9.0

Last evening in Austria. Last evening meal in the restaurant and after a week of tasting mostly GV (and a bit of Riesling and gelber Muskateller) I wanted something different.
There is a minerally quality to that nose with crushed rocks and chalk, tangerine, lime, pear and peach. The palate is round and delicate with peachy and tangerine notes all along, some very soft and delicate mouthfeel, some grip in the rear before a zesty, a tiny bit bitter finish with pear and lime. It's a lesser praised varietal from Austria but every time I taste a different take I find myself liking it. — 3 days ago

Really enjoyed this new world GV. This is my first white varietal from this producer. In most cases I have drank Mike’s Zinfandel. This shows that he can also make very good whites. It was a pleasure to drink. — 2 years ago

Crisp, green slightly sourish apple to green veggie taste. First GV, won’t be the last. Clean aftertaste — 4 years ago

The nose is very minerally with chalky and flinty notes, apple juice, honey, and lemony notes, too. The palate shows a great acid drive, much more focused than most GV numbers I have had so far. I like its tension a lot! Apple juice and lemony notes all along, a soft, easy-going mouthfeel, a bit of grip in the rear, and a long finish with the same fruity notes and a chalky feel to it. This is not vert complex but super well made. I could picture myself sipping on this and serving it to both wine nerds and casuals alike at the party at home without a problem. — 4 days ago
