Acclaim
“The Stadt Krems 2010 Riesling Grillenparz Reserve exhibits impressively palpable extract and a satiny texture, though rather sweet-sour flavors. Mirabelle, quince, and gooseberry mingle with crushed stone and brown spices.”
— Wine Advocate, Oct 2011
“Glass closure. Lightly floral, really quite fragrant but also intensely pure citrus. A little dusty but in a good way with intense citrus underneath. I think this still has promise of greater things.” 16.5+ points out of 20
— Jancis Robinson, Dec 2016
