A nice surprise. Do not have much (almost none) experience with Wachau, and this was an interesting wine indeed. Just bought by curiosity and opened straight up on returning home, after a quick cooling On the nose, fresh French herbs, mature yellow pears, honey and peaches. On the palate rather dry and fresh, with pears & grapefruit, and a touch of honey, peaches and apricots. Good balance, with some minerals and nice fruit acidity. Very nice wine, given the price tag.

Tasted at Wein and Co, Vienna. Apricot juice. Really interesting apricot on the nose and palate. Slightly bitter, tacky and tannic on the finish - I feel like this would be better in a year's time.

Wonderful and fresh. Apricot, but also a more broad range of citrus notes.

Splendid. Apricot slate and a nice streak of acidity. Good length and very smooth mouth feel.
