RATINGS

98James Suckling

...deep, dark and mysterious...minty freshness develops that leaps out of the glass at you...it manages to taste ancient and lively at once. The finish is very long with great herbal complexity.

97Wine Enthusiast

...teasing, flinty whiff of reduction beckons from the glass before the taut, fresh, poised but juicy palate hits you. The flavor is reminiscent both of baked and fresh apple, with a smooth lanolin tone...slender...vivid and like balm for the soul.

94+ The Wine Advocate

...deep and complex on the elegant and spicy nose... Crystalline and refined on the palate...elegant, highly complex and vital...

PRODUCER

Nikolaihof

Nikolaihof calls itself the oldest wine estate in Austria, dating its history back to the Romans, who built walls around what is now the estate. Vineyards have been on the estate since the 5th century when monks started making wine. In the late 19th century it was acquired by the Saahs family, which has been farming biodynamically since the early 1970s. The 60-acre estate in Wachau produces Riesling, Gruner Veltliner, Weissburgunder, Malvasier, Neuburger and Chardonnay. The 1995 Nikolaihof Vinothek Riesling was the first Austrian wine to earn 100 pts from The Wine Advocate.

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
