Intense acidity, with the sweetness held in check by a bright, crisp character. Rich honey is balanced by an exquisite freshness, lightly perfumed, so clean and clear in final taste.

Very rich in texture while also balanced, this is a wine that shows extreme concentration—honey, yellow fruits and final sugar all wrapped in lively acidity.

There is impressive balance here—rich apple and pear flavors with a tang of minerality. It is smooth and concentrated on the one hand and edgy and nervy on the other. Screwcap.

Classically perfumed Riesling, very floral, with white flower aromas and a star fruit and kiwi flavors. There is a definite texture here, an edge of fruit skins, with Mandarin orange acidity to give a vibrant finish.

Planted with cuttings from many Austrian wine regions, the Aussere Bergen vineyard produces a ripe, full wine, packed with yellow fruits, spice and a feeling of opulence, while always balanced.

Beautifully light, a steely core wrapped in apricot, citrus and the brightest, perfumed acidity. A delicious wine, packed with fresh, pure fruit character.

Oily and rich describe this GV’s mouthfeel, while its aromas are all about gardenias, apples and honey. Clove and cinnamon accent the ripe apple and pear fruit. Minerally and intense on the finish. —J.C.
