October 15, 2022 - After Jon Rimmerman’s insistent praise over this wine, I had to pick up a case. Will this really make me believe that 2021 is the vintage of the century for Austrian Riesling? Light color. Nose is perfumy with hints of tangerine from a distance. Up close, it opens with a grassy, stony, lemon and lemon rind quality. So far so good. On the palate, there is a tangy, mouth-puckering acidity, lots of extract and minerals, and a long finish. It’s bone dry but has a ton of extract to balance its fearsome acidity (which is high enough to rake the enamel off your teeth). Should last quite a very long time. I don’t know if it’s the vintage of the century, but I’m now a believer in 2021 Austrian Riesling just like I’m a fan of 2019 chablis.
