Tasting notes
The 2015 Ried Gaisberg 1ÖTW shows an intense and well-concentrated nose of ripe (and overripe?) Riesling berries and stewed stone fruits. On the palate this is a lush and aromatic but pure and very elegant Gaisberg whose richness and mango fruit is well structured and fresh. The long and kicking finish is intensely fruity but also stimulatingly piquant and salty.

Where its Heiligenstein counterpart was luscious, soothing and florally perfumed, this Gaisberg is sharply focused and transparent to invigorating impingements of lime zest, white pepper, and stone. Its concentration of floral and green herbal elements takes a high-toned and palate-penetrating Chartreuse-like form. A fundament of white peach and lime guarantees lusciousness as well as refreshing primary juiciness. The finish is unusually sharp and vibrant for the vintage, and it will be fascinating to follow this wine’s fortunes in bottle.
Cork closure. Intense and slightly smoky lemon and lime fruit but with an 'Austrian' peppery quality to it. Bone dry, paper-fine, stony texture. Finesse and great length. More restraint than many wines in this vintage but no lack of depth or length. (JH)
