Alois Zimmermann’s top Rieslings come from the Rosshimmel vineyard. A concentrated wine, still with youthful structure and closed white fruits. The acidity and intensity of flavor all point to long-term potential—give it 5 years at least.

This lightweight wine is fresh and flavored with limes, pears and a hint of spice. It’s edgy but also rounded, with mouthfilling fruit flavors and acidity playing an important supporting role.

One of a series of single vineyard wines from Alois Zimmermann, this dense Grüner Veltliner is packed with ripe green plums, minerality and a rich structure. It has great freshness, but at the same time good concentration. Screwcap.

Very dry, crisp, taut and mineral, a tense wine with a streak of green berries and almost achingly fresh acidity. This is certainly a food style of Riesling, too dry for aperitif. Screwcap.

A floral, aromatic wine, with flavors of crisp lemon and orange peel, green apple skins and grapefruit. There is just a hint of pepper in the aftertaste. Screwcap.

Fresh, cut grass aromas precede green plum flavors under a layer of creaminess. This is verging on rich, a satisfying mouthful of green fruits and smooth acidity.

Although there is some sweetness here, this wine is more about power and richness. The spices and the exotic lychee flavor dominate a super-ripe wine, dense and concentrated. Drink as a first-course wine, maybe with a pâté.

Classic Riesling, all fresh currants and stone fruits with a touch of spice, finishing full and rich. This wine comes from the Kapuzinerberg vineyard on the southern slopes of the Krems hills. Screwcap.

The Kraxn (pronounced “KRAX-en”) is well-placed for Riesling, with its southern exposure close to the Danube river. The richness of the fruit shows through in this soft, open, opulent wine, with its pepper and white fruit flavors.
