RATINGS

98The Wine Advocate

...exhibits an intense and matured bouquet with caramel and leathery/feral as well as concentrated fruit but also crystalline, stony aromas. Deep, coolish and elegant. On the palate, this is a crystalline, refined and pure, very complex and concentrated wine with a great and complex finish...mouth-watering, enormously tensioned and pushing on the finish.

96James Suckling

...quite extraordinary dried-apple, pear and peach character with stone, mineral and subtle flint undertones. It’s full-bodied and layered with lots of dried fruit and a persistent, flavorful finish.

92Wine Spectator

...evokes almond paste, apple, cantaloupe and graphite flavors, showing balance, with fine length and freshness.

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

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.
