The Kögl is one of the great Krems vineyards, and this full-bodied Riesling has considerable power as well as intensely crisp acidity. There is just a touch of spice to go with the pineapple juice and green apples. Keep this wine for 4–5 years.

This is rich and concentrated. It has weight, with the ripe white-peach fruit giving a smooth edge to the otherwise taut, mineral acidity. Age over 3–4 years. Glass stopper.

This is a powerful Riesling that concentrates more on the weight, richness and spice than on the fruit. It has a structured, intense character that offers long-term aging. The finish is full bodied and powerful.

A mineral, textured wine, peppery and tightly wrought with distinct acidity over the green fruits and vivid acidity. The wine is full, but powered by acidity to keep it crisp.

This is powerful, rich Grüner, one that brings out the pepper character as well as apricot and honey. There is a dense texture in this concentrated and well-balanced wine. It needs to age for 3–4 years.

A full style of Riesling, showing a tropical fruit side. Rich and concentrated, with acidity coming through only at the end, where the rich fruit gives a broad aftertaste. Age for four years and more.

Creamy and rich, with flavors of almonds, apples and cream. Apricots steal in, along with honey and a vivid final tang of citrus zest. The minerality gives a powerful pull to the wine, offering the driest of finishes.

Melon and herb notes on the nose give way to citrus-tinged fruit on the palate. As one might expect from the heat of the vintage, it’s a plump rather than racy Riesling, but has a long, mineral-laden finish. Imported by Vin Divino.
