* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The concentration here is enormous, from low-yielding old vines. The wine has the characteristic pepper edge, but the creamy character, the ripe lychees and green plums, are all more dominant. At the end, a distinct spiciness shows through. Age ideally for 3–4 years.

This ripe, creamy wine, based on the Austrian version of Pinot Blanc, is rounded, toasty and spicy. It was aged on the lees for six months before bottling to give extra richness. Ready to drink.

Intensely perfumed wine with concentrated, ripe flavors of bitter oranges and pepper. At the end, though, the primary taste is of freshness, with a lift of acidity.

This is one of those rare sweet wines that manages to tread the line between sweetness and acidity, combining the best of both worlds. The acidity is very present, but it doesn’t overwhelm the delicate fruit flavors and the touch of honey.

This intensely sweet wine, almost like nectar, is so fresh and poised, that it is both overwhelming and refreshing. Honey marches with acidity, smokiness and perfumed fruit.

What a beautiful wine, with honey, perfumes, acidity and delicate fruit. It is certainly ripe, with tropical fruits and a pure citric streak. But more than the parts is the sum: The acidity promises long bottle aging, but the pleasure is also there now. Treasure this wine—none was produced in 2004 or in 2005.

From 50-year-old vines, harvested at the end of November, this wine has definite late-harvest richness and intensity of flavor. Fruit tastes are less obvious than the perfumes, the flavors of almonds and complexity, what Friedrich Rieder calls a wine with character.

Harvested in December 2008, this is almost late harvest in its intensity of fruit, yet remains dry. It is rich, peppery, smooth and ripe at the same time. Flavors are of pear and apricot, with concentrated spice and creamy smoothness. Screwcap. Imported by Blue Danube Wine Co.

Weinrieder’s hallmark purity of fruit is very evident with this wine’s freshness and flavors of pears and green plums. It has good weight, great poise and a deliciously light aftertaste.
