Repolusk 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (Austria)
- $26
Easy-drinking, this vibrantly crisp wine shines with well-etched lemon and grapefruit flavors and a grassy-herbal edge. Great acidity makes it clean and tart. Well made, it’s a pleasant sipper and would be good with shellfish. —S.H.

Repolusk 1999 Sweigelt Red (Austria)
- $24
This medium-bodied, spicy wine, with a gorgeous ruby color, has tart, sour cherry flavors with rich acidity. It’s extremely dry and racy, and turns almost sour on the finish because of the acids, but it’s a pleasant sensation. —S.H.

Repolusk 2000 Gelber Muskateller (Austria)
- $23
Smells nice enough, with rich custardy aromas, freshly baked sweetened piecrust, and peaches and vanilla. It tastes much drier than you’d think, given the opening. Delicate peach and hazelnut flavors are offset by decent, not great, acidity. In fact, if the acids were higher, the wine would be better. —S.H.

Repolusk 2000 Schilcher Red (Austria)
- $22
A dry rose, the color of onion skins. The Austrians describe the aroma as “sweet tart” because it suggests freshly baked, butter-sweetened pastry crust. It drinks startingly dry and rasping, with citrus flavors and acidity that will make your mouth water. —S.H.

Repolusk 2000 Roter Traminer Spatlese (Austria)
- $28
Lush, opulent scents of Kahlúa-soaked apricots and vanilla custard are inviting, but it drinks drier than it smells, with just a touch of off-dry sweetness compounding the peach and citrus flavors. Lively acidity makes it brisk. —S.H.

Repolusk 2000 Welschriesling (Austria)
- $21
One of the drier wines I’ve had lately, it’s pale in color and light in aromas, with a suggestion of lemon juice. Light in citrus flavors, with a big bite of acidity that makes it raspingly clean. —S.H.

Repolusk 2000 Morillon Chardonnay (Austria)
- $25
Smells terrific, even brilliant, with vibrant aromas of lemon-and-lime, vanilla and smoke, but there’s an odd flavor that doesn’t seem right, suggesting tapioca. If you can get past that, the enormous acidity is very cleansing. —S.H.

Repolusk 2000 Weissburgunder White (Austria)
- $23
Vaguely Chardonnay-like, with peppery, peach aromas and flavors, bone dry, and a creamy mouthfeel. Not a lot of complexity, it’s a country-style wine, with no flaws but kind of obvious. —S.H.
