2013 Riesling Salomon Undhof

Grapes Riesling
Colour White
Origin Austria, Kremstal
ABV 13%

Along with many winemakers, Bert has been tempted to try making wine in terracotta amphora, and this fascinating and atypical Riesling is the result. The nose lays dried mandarin zest over pear candy, whilst the palate is both fresh and minerally dry whilst having a gentle note sweetness with crisp pear-cider tones. Something different to serve with bolder fish dishes or even with softer cheeses. It's a wine with great purity and a sort of 'natural' feeling softness and clarity of expression. L&S (Jan 2015)

Fermented for seven weeks in buried amphorae, racked into small tanks in the spring and lightly clarified. Lemony flavours, quite rich with stone fruit and quince acidity. A fascinating wine. (Steven recommends, Decanter) Drinking range: 2016 - 2018 Rating: 91 Steven Spurrier (Nov 2015)

Salomon Undhof

Founded in 1792 SALOMON UNDHOF is a wine estate with a long tradition. The Salomon family from the Wachau produces white wines from the best terraced "Urgestein" sites along the Danube River in Stein and Krems. Today Bert and Gertrud Salomon run the winery. The famous Riesling of the estate thrives on the topsites of Kögl and Pfaffenberg. The Grüner Veltliner Von Stein comes from the steep terrassed hills behind the old town of Stein. The best "loess" soils provide the Lindberg and Wachtberg Grüner Veltliner. All the grapes are harvested traditionally by hand only. Their great vineyard locations and meticulous work in the vineyards are prerequisites for their elegant wines. Wines with finesse and perfect mineral balance reflect the very special micro climate of this lovely river valley. The Estate’s Grüner Veltliner and Riesling distinguish themselves through elegance and consistency.
