Winery - Hogl
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This medium-bodied GV is a textbook example, boasting hints of white pepper and anise on the nose, followed by flavors of apples, pears and spice. Finishes on a minerally note, with an almost dusty quality. Imported by Winemonger.com.

This is a massive, brooding Riesling that seems to demand time in the cellar. Sweet corn, smoke and peach kernel notes mark the bouquet, while the powerful mineral flavors are accented by apple and peach. Broad and palate-coating in texture, with a long, oily finish, this is undeniably impressive.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A full-bodied, mouth-filling wine that bursts with melon, peach, peppery pear skin and nutmeg flavors. It is ripe, rich, a fruit salad whose final freshness and acidity suggest aging for 3–5 years.

A blend from three of Josef Högl’s vineyards, this brings together fruit from the cool west, the center and the warm east of the Wachau. Less focused than other Högl Grüners, it gains from a warmth and roundness, emphasizing sweet melon and pineapple flavors, and a soft finishing acidity and spice.

An impressively rich wine with slight sweetness that brings out an initial chalky character, followed swiftly by flavors of almonds and nutmeg on pears. The final softness is deceptive—this is a concentrated wine that needs to age.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A wine that simply enchants with its floral aromas, its flavors of honey, spices and green fruits and lively, floating acidity. To say it is a crowd pleaser is a compliment, its open, vivacious style a delight to drink. Not for aging, though.

Weighty (14% alcohol) yet crisp and peppery, giving it a refreshing feel. Starts with some leafy greens and ripe aples, then adds honey balanced by white pepper.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Nicely balanced for such a big, full-bodied wine, with enough peppery spice, minerally intensity and pink grapefruit to keep the bulk in check. Does have some baked-apple notes suggestive of a warm vintage, but also a long, peppery finish. Drink now. Imported by Winemonger.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Starts with scents reminiscent of honey, ripe apples and pears and even hints of peach, then gains complexity on the palate, picking up additional notes of spice and mineral. Verges on full-bodied, with the weight carrying over onto the long, slightly oily finish. Imported by Winemonger.com.
