Despite its richness, this is so fresh, the acidity a delicious counterpoint to the rounded fruits. Soft spice and layers of pear juice give extra complexity. Screwcap.

An aroma that is as much light citrus as richer fruit sets the scene for this tight, mineral-driven wine. It has ripe, concentrated fruit, with definite acidity. Give it three years for the taut structure to broaden out. Screwcap.

This bright wine bursts with crisp acidity as well as layered pear and apple fruits. It is already a delicious wine, its vivid texture a foil to the edge of spice. Screwcap.

Powerful, rich Riesling, its natural acidity rounded out with ripe white fruit flavors, a touch of vanilla and spice as well as pure crisp steeliness. A wine for aging over 6–7 years. Screwcap.

Riesling at 14% alcohol is almost too much, although Martin Nigl just gets away with it, the fresh element giving balance to the super ripeness. This is a sipping wine, too intensely perfumed for food. Screwcap.

A wonderful viscous texture underlies a wine that is beautifully balanced between sweetness and crispness. The honeyed flavors go with ripe yellow nectarines and the wine glides around the mouth. Delicious now, but it will surely age. Screwcap.

From his tiny valley above Krems, Martin Nigl seems to produce effortless wines with all the right intensity of flavor and richness. This Privat (which, for him, is the equivalent of a reserve wine), is intense, concentrated and packed with spice, pepper and yellow apples. Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines.

Not so much sweet as intensely rich, peppery and zesty with orange peel and spiced pear juice flavors. It is concentrated, intense, likely to last for many years.

Liquorous and sweet with honey, peaches and a rounded character. The contrast between the crisp acidity, intense aromatics and beautiful, smooth and opulent texture keeps the wine in exquisite tension.
