About

Rating:

90

"Fresh and crisp, with bright flavors of pear tart, Granny Smith apple, grapefruit and white currant. Very minerally and stony on the racy, citrus-filled finish. Drink now through 2018. 61 cases imported." 90 Points- Wine Spectator

WINERY:
"No one would deny this estate's inclusion among the absolute elite in Austria, and many observers wonder if there's anyone finer. Extraordinarily transparent, filigree, crystalline, mineral-drenched wines of mindboggling clarity. Prices remarkably sane for world-class great Rieslings (compare to the best in Alsace!)" -Importer

WINE:
"Always a light Riesling from Urgestein, meant for drinking ideally within 12-18 months, the wine is reliably limpid and charming and well suited for by-the-glass use in restaurants not requiring the presence of cute animals on the label." -Importer

WINE-MAKER:
"It seems that Martin Nigl know by now each of its vines, its history, strengths and weaknesses. "You can tell in the finished wine, how to work in the vineyard, was whether the canes have suffered, or whether they went well," If that's true , the wine certainly makes good on his vines." -Winery

This wine also scored 87 Points from International Wine Cellar.
