Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – ‘Succulent and with a satisfying sense of hidden sweetness (though analytically dry), this year’s rendition favors the character of Wieden and its tiny-berried vine selection in a concentrated amalgam of sweet pea, haricots verts, lentil and green herbs. Generously juicy and saliva-inducingly saline, it delivers intriguing undertones of wet stone and ore-like minerality, finishing with the stimulating addition of pea tendril and melon rind bitterness. Drink 2016-2024.’ 90 points, David Schildknecht, RobertParker.com, Feb. 2016.

About This Wine

Encircled by a massive property wall the Weiden vineyard adjoins the winery. A wine with supple mouthfeel and lush texture with hints of yellow peach.

CHARACTERISTICS: Light yellow-green. In the bouquet Cox orange-apple with soft aspects of white tropic fruits. Apples, white pepper and different types of herbs developed throughout drinking. The soft acidity and the elegant finish round out this delicate white wine.

About Austrian Wine

Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn't seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it's wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time. 

Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.

In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
