Medium green yellow hue, aromas of peach and citrus. Powerful and juicy with elements of stone fruit and significant minerality on the long finish. This wine will benefit from bottle aging.

Brand Materials
A full style of Riesling, showing a tropical fruit side. Rich and concentrated, with acidity coming through only at the end, where the rich fruit gives a broad aftertaste. Age for four years and more.
“Aromatic and clear on the nose, with concentrated stone fruit aromas, the 2009 Riesling Ried Grillenparz 1ÖTW is a dense and mature wine whose finish is already slightly drying and bitter. Drink soon. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg in September 2019.”
