Big and rich, very concentrated wine. It packs smooth pear, quince and green plum fruits along with a touch of spice. The acidity fits well in this delicious wine.

A hugely-rich wine that is very concentrated, offering as much pepper flavor as fruit. With its weight and soft, velvety texture, there are notes of ripe yellow fruit and pear. This should age over several years. Screwcap.

Fifty-year old vines form the basis of this rich wine. It brings out an exotic, concentrated spicy character along with green plum, pear fruits and bright acidity. The smooth texture sits on an ageworthy wine. Give it 2–3 years. Screwcap. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).

The attractive orange color is a reminder that this is made from red Zweigelt grapes. But the texture is proper eiswein, the syrupy, toffee sweetness balanced by a tight layer of fresh acidity, flavors of superripe peaches and a smooth final taste. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).

Big and rich, this is just settling into its stride. It has weight and richness, with taut acidity as well as a forward, concentrated, fruity character. For food and for aging.

A fat style of Riesling, sitting plump and ripe in the glass. There is elegance as well, with the freshest of green berries to give it lift. But it remains full and fruity in texture. Screwcap. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).

Very mineral in character, this is an elegant and crisp wine. The perfumes are a vivid balance to the fresh green fruits, with a light layer of acidity. Screwcap.

Described by the producer as the crème de la crème of Veltliners, this is certainly concentrated, rich and spicy. It has baked apple, nutmeg, a touch of ginger to go with the ripe fruit. It’s a food wine, best with rich fish or creamy cheeses. Screw cap.
