Acclaim
“From a high terrace above the city of Krems that has been cultivated with vines for more than 900 years, the 2021 Ried Weinzierlberg 1ÖTW Grüner Veltliner opens with clear, precise and aromatic fruit with a tropical twist (green baby bananas). Tremendously juicy and mild on the palate (almost like banana juice), this is a very chewy and quite alcoholic Veltliner with a slightly salty finish.”
— Wine Advocate, Dec 2022
“The stunning nose of white peach, chamomile and dried flowers leaps out of the glass at you. Magnificent richness and refinement on the very concentrated yet poised palate. Such a long and very graceful finish, but you can’t wait to return to the beginning again!”
— James Suckling, Nov 2022
