RATINGS

98Wine Enthusiast

Swirl this awake to reveal a world of dried hayflower, lemon peel and tart, baked apple. Its lifted, elixir-like chamomile scent goes straight to the pleasure center of the brain, signaling a celebration of maturing Riesling. Dry, taut and fresh, it shimmers with lemon zest and lemon-scented incense.

95Vinous / IWC

...nose mingling gentian, elderflower, seaweed, mussels, salt spray and chicken stock... Sage, fennel, peach kernel, lemon, alkali and wet stone all chime in on the silken, buoyant (11.5 percent alcohol) palate, rendering a carpet of richness and intricate complexity that unrolls in a mouthwateringly saline finish of polished and prodigious length.

95James Suckling

Apples with this kind of aroma only really exist in your imagination. Sleek and lithe with a long, precisely contoured finish.

94The Wine Advocate

Very clear and perfectly ripe on the delicate nose and provided with ripe and stewed apple aromas... The finish is slightly bitter but persistently salty/mineral and tensioned.

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.
