Niederösterreich Image

The Niederösterreich region of Austria (meaning lower Austria) is the country's largest wine-growing area, including eight specific wine growing regions. The regions include: Wachau, Carnuntum, Kremstal DAC, Kamptal DAC , Thermenregion, Wagram, Traisental DAC, and Weinvertel DAC. The region has three major climactic zones: The Weinvertel, the region along the Danube river with adjoining valleys west of Vienna and a warmer, Pannonian climate in the south-east of the Niederösterreich. Gruener Veltliner is the most widely grown grape of the region accounting for 44% of the area's production, but Riesling, Roter Veltliner and other white varietals are very prominent here as well. Red varieties such as Pinot Noir, Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch are more popular in the areas closest to Burgenland such as Carnuntum. – Description from Constance Chamberlain

Peach and citrus notes on the nose with some floral notes. Really good balanced complexity on the palate - floral with fruit and very strong (yet soft) tangy citrus notes, great acid. Good length. I thought this wine was much better served at a slightl...

A rather expressive nose, with earth, leather, drying cherry, plum, and subtle violet notes. Medium-bodied and soft on the palate, with similar notes as the nose.

What a delicious and thought-provoking wine. Aged in old oak and bottled right off the lees. The result is a wine with a lot of character and flavor. Soft, textured mouthfeel, with citrus notes and something reminiscent of pear. I'd love to try this ag...

The nose was luxurious with apricot, tropical notes, yellow florals and a hint of field grasses. On the palate, it was smooth and balanced with zesty acidity ushering in spicy citrus and floral notes that lasted into the long finish. (93 points)

I really enjoy a nice Grüner on warm days or as an apertif or pairing with many light dishes. They offer a nice value. This one pours a light and clear straw color. Aromas are light and clean, mostly lemon zest, tangerines and minerals. Starts of...

    Riesling Urgestein Hiedler Ludwig Langenlois 2011

    Very pretty on the nose with rich floral notes over lightly minty vegetal undertones that show a base of salty minerality. Very soft on entry, this is round and easy in the mouth with a slightly loose feel supporting mineral-inflected light orchard fruits. This seems to lack a center and is drifting around on the palate. My interest was saved on... Read More

    Snoothrank:

    Very aromatic, with a lovely array of fresh citrus fruit, earthy apples, and floral and spice aromas over a fine base of dusty minerals. This is a touch spicy in the mouth with a white peppery accent to the herb-inflected ripe apple and lime pith fruit. There's also a mineral edge here that adds nice cut to the mid-palate, which gains weight in ... Read More

    Gobelsburger Kamptal Riesling 2011

    Snoothrank:

    This is lightly nutty and stony on the nose with some very fine floral and herbal aromas that recall tarragon, chamomile and wild arugula. Very finely textured in the mouth and fairly weightless and transparent, this delivers glassy fruit along with a light mineral wash across the palate. The citrus flavors alternate between lemon/lime and somet... Read More

    Snoothrank:

    This is beautifully pungent with green herb notes flanked by fennel, dried lemon peel, grapefruit and a hint of pink peppercorn. Big on entry and a touch soft, the acidity here takes a moment to assert itself before adding a nice mineral inflection to the grapefruit pith and pear fruit of the palate. With air more mineral emerges, particularly o... Read More

    This is packed with dissolved CO2 so expect some fizz here early on. Once the gas dissipates, youre left with a very fine nose full of iris and apricot over light green citrus fruits. Gossamer-like on entry, this shows elegance and balance with a wispy texture and light yet clear flavors of citrus fruit tinged with a white peach wash. The acidit... Read More
