My harvest starts in X days & I’m getting cold feet
Hannah starts to get cold feet as she starts her sixth year of harvesting – this time with a proper cellar and all!
Josef Fritz – Roter Veltliner Ried Mordthal 2019
Quite aromatic and peachy on the nose, with an exotic and expressive character to the fruit (some guava and ripe mango notes). Well defined, pin-sharp acids that provide great balance here. A fruit-forward, pure & elegant style.
Fritsch – Grüner Veltliner Ried Schlossberg 2019
Very refined and delicate, this Grüner shows a completely side of what the variety can achieve on loess soils. It has white flowers, white pepper and candied fruits on the nose – with the merest hint of honeysuckle. The palate Read more
Josef Fritz – Grüner Veltliner Ried Schlossberg 2019
Charming and expressive of the variety, this light bodied Grüner has a bit of the green capsicum character, but also some more ripe apple and peach notes. It’s soft textured, with nice concentration. Everything here is refined and balanced, with Read more
Fritsch – Riesling Ried Mordthal 2019
Tightly wound and filled with citrus notes, this is a relatively simplistic wine at the moment. There’s plenty of freshness and drive, and very subtle lees texture apparent on the finish. Needs time to open up a bit.
Bernhard Ott – Grüner Veltliner Ried Spiegel 2018
Peppery and citrus, this is a taut, lively effort with citrus essential oils and pepper. Concentrated, yet really tight and focused on the palate, it’s a style that may need yet more bottle age to really show at its best.
Leth – Roter Veltliner Ried Scheiben 2019
Slightly oily textured, there’s a turkish delight character to this Roter Veltliner that makes it feel quite exotic. It’s in danger of becoming a bit flabby on the palate though – with lowish acid and high alcohol. That said, the Read more
Bernhard Ott – Grüner Veltliner Ried Rosenberg 2018
A little sulky and closed on the nose, also rather unexpressive on the palate. A hint of white pepper leads into a bit of capsicum, and a dry, almost harsh finish. Unlovely at the moment, it will be interesting to Read more
Böheim – Ried Stuhlwerker 2018
A big, spicy and oak influenced cuvee that has been well made, but right now is just too tannic to be enjoyable. There’s plenty of red berry fruit and freshness, so with luck this will emerge a little from behind Read more
Leth – Grüner Veltliner Ried Scheiben 2019
Creamy ripe apple, and a bit of butter drive this ripe but nicely balanced Grüner, which has great acidity and a hint of pepper on the finish. After the attack, it becomes slightly angular on the finish. Not a great Read more
