Beautiful golden bright colour
Intense nose
Pear, citron
Floral, Scotch broom, jasmine too and camomile
Violet and wisteria
Honey and hay
Blonde tobacco, white choc
Macadamia, nutmeg, ginger, little pistachio as well, turmeric
The palate is pristine
Full, but easy
Heaps of mineral in the aftertaste
Extremely long
Definitely my favourite Wachau vineyard and producer
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Still ten to fifteen years ahead

Large scaled but balanced. Better now compared to on release; has fleshed out with hints of dried peach, but underlying acidity is enough for balance. Not a keeper, though.

This is the first riesling i have drunk that comes close to the flavour intensity of a Keller. Vibrant palate with more fruit and acidity than the Hubacker. Pleasure to drink
