Fresh, lively and spicy, with great ripe, red fruit and light tannins. The acidity highlights the vibrant fruit character. Drink now. Bottled in screwcap.

Smooth wine, with softened fruit and ripe red-berry flavors. There is some good depth of flavor, coming from the wood and spicy edge, as well as the herbal, juicy nature of the fruit. Screwcap.

This is the Feilers’ flagship red, a blend of Blaufränkisch, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, smooth, ripe and velvety. The tannins seem soft initially because of the new French wood flavors, but to finish, they become firm, dry and tough, promising some good aging. For now, enjoy the sweet blackberry fruits.

An exotic blend of Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and Cabernet Franc. Huge new wood aromas dominate soft fruits. A sweet, rich wine with black tar, fruit flavors and violets. Acidity and the red fruits of the Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch blend easily and successfully with the sophisticated flavors of the Cabernet.

This is the pinnacle of sweet wines at Feiler-Artinger. The name is right—it is the essence of all great sweet wines in one bottle. It is one of those wines whose taste lingers, but along the way, there is the most delicious wild flower honey, figs, pineapple, peach and nuts. They are beautifully woven together into a very complete wine, which needs only one thing: aging.

With their generic Ruster Ausbruch, Kurt and Hans Feiler are able to make fascinating blends, such as this combination of Chardonnay, Neuburger, Weissburgunder and Welschriesling. With this mix, and after more than 5 years, this is a wine that doesn’t show fruit as much as richness. It is creamy and opulent, showing some spice; still young at heart, with dry botrytis and honey on the finish.

The acidity is still there in this now-mature wine, keeping it lively while all the mature flavors swirl around. Pepper and richness combine, while sweetness has lost to intense power and concentration. There is a flavor of toast, of dark toffee leaving a rich, almost dry aftertaste.

Sweet and rich, but not as nuanced as Feiler-Artinger’s more expensive Essenz bottling, this is still an excellent dessert wine. Dried apricot and pineapple flavors turn a bit caramelly on the finish. A blend of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Neuberger and Chardonnay.

This beautiful wine shows great elegance. It is not just sweet, it is sophisticated as well, bringing delicious acidity, dryness and exotic fruits. To finish, there is a fruit salad of flavors, combined with spice and a lingering aftertaste. Imported by Winemonger.com.
