A concentrated dry Riesling showing elegant citrus, marjoram and subtle herbal character. The palate is rich yet precise, with pronounced salinity, firm structure and finely integrated tannins. Extended cask maturation contributes remarkable complexity and depth, while vibrant acidity carries the wine through a persistent mineral finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs best with roasted turbot, herb-crusted pork loin, smoked trout, or veal schnitzel.
97 Points - James Suckling
A fabulously ripe yet delicate apricot nose, then enormous concentration and great balance on the palate with an extremely streamlined, super-long finish. This was pressed with a huge, 350-year-old wooden press, and that doesn't strike me as a gimmick, but rather it has helped the wine to reach this extraordinary harmony. Drink or hold.
96 Points -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Pressed with the 350-year-old wooden press and aged for 18 months in traditional oak, the intensely citrus-colored 2012 Im Weingebirge Riesling Baumpresse opens with a beautiful nose of deep, elegant and finessed Riesling flavors intermixed with marjoram aromas. What great finesse, elegance and purity! On the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich but pure and elegant, highly finessed and salty Riesling with great complexity, tension and finesse. It has a firm but still filigreed structure and very fine tannins that are intertwined with the perfect fruit ripeness and concentration. A great dry Riesling from the Wachau!
