Berthold (“Bert”) Salomon, who manages to juggle hands-on management of his Finniss River Australia estate with that of his ancestral property in the urban borderland between Krems and sister city Stein, is on a roll, having over the past several years achieved increasingly consistent and impressive results at what was already among the Kremstal’s longstanding best addresses, not to mention among the area’s historical leaders and earliest estate-bottlers of Riesling. Salomon, who from 1992 headed the governmental Austrian Wine Marketing Board in its seminal stage, returned to his family estate a decade later to understudy and collaborate with his older brother Erich, who had run things there since 1971 but was ill, and died in 2007. The core of the Undhof vineyards is terraces in Stein and neighboring Krems bequeathed in the 14th century to the Hospital of the Holy Ghost in Bavarian Passau, from whom, amazingly, the Salomon family still rents some of them, returning a share of wine each year.

Berthold Salomon certainly has his hands full, what with a large domaine in South Australia’s Finniss River sector on top of his family’s Undhof estate, and with numerous other projects tangentially involved with wine growing. Somehow, though, he not only manages all this; he and his team are also clearly on a qualitative roll – at least, with the Gruner Veltliner that makes up their majority of production – and have once again delivered both excitement and value with 2012.
