It would have been criminal to leave the Riesling counterpart to the GV above behind, even if the greatest grape variety in the world will always play a serene second fiddle to its louder counterpart in the commercial Austrian context! The grapes all come from two splendid sites – Weisser Mauer and Kellerberg (where Barbara Öhlzelt grows such memorable wine). A wine “green” in colour and nature, whose initial grassiness soon reveals honied notes. Taut and snappy, pure and stony, with a long tarry finish. A real character, but not in any sense outré.
