Winery - Stadt Krems
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Melon and herb notes on the nose give way to citrus-tinged fruit on the palate. As one might expect from the heat of the vintage, it’s a plump rather than racy Riesling, but has a long, mineral-laden finish. Imported by Vin Divino.

Smells fresh and citrusy, with hints of green apples, celery fronds and white pepper. Medium-bodied, with no hard edges, this easy-to-drink Grüner develops flavors of stone fruit as well, ending with a nice balance of ripe peach and white pepper. Imported by Vin Divino.

The lightest wine from the 500-year-old Stadt Krems winery. It has an attractive edge of spice to go with its apple and cream texture. Not for aging, but a delicious apéritif wine.

If you wish you could afford to drink more Grüner Veltliner, load up on this gem, which features varietally correct aromas of white pepper and celery leaf layered over ripe stone fruit. It’s full-bodied and seems soft at first, but then adds acidity and mineral notes on the finish that provide a firm backbone. Crisp and refreshing on the finish; perfect for summertime.

A mineral, textured wine, peppery and tightly wrought with distinct acidity over the green fruits and vivid acidity. The wine is full, but powered by acidity to keep it crisp.

This wine is just right, with its rich but mineral character bringing out the warmth of the Kremstal vineyards. Flavors of green plums and sweet lychee dominate the purest of fruit flavors.

This big, mouthfilling Riesling is loaded with tropical fruit and citrus flavors, although it starts off with more restrained aromas of peaches, mineral oil and flowershop greens. As the fruit recedes, the mineral qualities should come to the fore, adding character to this fruity wine. Imported by Vin Divino.

This is powerful, rich Grüner, one that brings out the pepper character as well as apricot and honey. There is a dense texture in this concentrated and well-balanced wine. It needs to age for 3–4 years.

Creamy and rich, with flavors of almonds, apples and cream. Apricots steal in, along with honey and a vivid final tang of citrus zest. The minerality gives a powerful pull to the wine, offering the driest of finishes.

Ripe, fruity and intense on the nose, with aromas of lime, orange zest and peach. The palate develops more complexity, adding hints of pepper and dry minerals to bold tangerine flavors. Attractive and flashy, but just lacks a bit of length on the finish. Imported by Vin Divino.
