Am Berg 2018 Riesling Mittelberg DAC
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.
