  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.

  August 19, 2021 - Medium gold colour. Medium nose with ripe pear, peach, honey, white pepper and ripe lemon. Medium taste of ripe pear, peach, honey, ripe lemon and white pepper. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium body. A very good and rich Grüner Veltliner on the mature side. Drink now or over the next couple of years. Goes well with fish or shellfish.
