  October 18, 2021 - Muthenthaler's top offering from the extreme Viesslinger Stern vineyard, some of Wachau's coolest terroir. An extreme, polarizing wine, like this guy's wines are. Weird stuff: the dark colour betrays at first sight a massive concentration, with an almost chewy texture and phenolic bitterness (almost like a skin contact wine) and intense spicy flavours. However, unlike some of Muthenthaler's other wines, this has not as much in way of acidity. Alcohol is perfectly balanced -with none of the heat often afflicting Austrian wines- but the wine lacks the raciness and verticality of the cheaper bottlings, or the elegance of Ried Schön. Love it or hate it but this won't leave anybody indifferent.
