Notes | |||
"A purist, reflecting the clay and limestone soil it´s grown on. Local pip fruit, green clementine, hyssop, and mint. Aged in used wooden barrels. Mouth-watering and salty, just like the primordial ocean that shaped our soils." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2019 Welschriesling Ried Ottenberg Veitlhansl opens with intense, concentrated and tangy fruit on the nose, which also reflects the loamy lime sandstone as well as the 500-liter barrels in which the wine was aged for two years. Full-bodied and mouth-fillingly rich, this is a pure and textural Welschriesling with yeasty notes and fine but palatable tannins. The acidity is vivacious but fine and leads to a long, intense, structured and persistently salty finish. This is, again, an impressive "Wösch" with a tight but fruity finish. 12% stated alcohol. Glass stopper. Tasted in December 2021." —Wine Advocate |
