Beautifully smooth, this ripe wine contrasts its rich peach and pineapple flavors with a squeezed lime note and taut acidity. With its intensely-fruity finish, this is a wine for aging.

This huge, rich wine is great Grüner Veltliner. Despite the alcohol, Rupert Summerer has managed to keep the intense freshness, the lifted, crisp pear flavors and the exuberant pepper in control. Impressive.

An elegant but rich wine, the green acidity in good balance with the rounded tropical fruit flavors. There is a proper crisp element to this fine wine, its white fruits offering richness to the bone dry aftertaste. Glass stopper.

A big power-driven wine, all concentrated spice and sweet fruit. Lovers of Alsace wines will appreciate the richness of this wine, with its flavors of white fruits touched with pepper and its rounded, opulent texture.

This is densely rich, its power emphasized by the pepper edge to the pear flavors, the spice and structure a powerhouse of flavors. In the range of single-vineyard wines from Rupert Summerer, this is probably the sipping, rather than drinking, wine. Glass stopper.

Fresh but rich, this young wine has structured edges, great purity of green currant fruits as well as fine concentration. The roundness of the palate is matched by its delicious acidity. Glass stopper.

A pear-flavored wine, still fresh and young, showing its mineral texture, which is likely to soften. It’s delicate, the lightest of the range of Rieslings from Rupert Summerer, the white fruits offering some sweetness as a balance to the bone-dry structure. Glass stopper.

A light, delicate wine, crisp and fresh, pleasantly perfumed, with flavors of a spring garden. It has an elegance in its soft structure, the stone fruit flavors lightly touching the acidity.
