The Wine Front (95)Curious, as my mind went to Jura pretty quickly, then came back to more citrusy things, but saline for sure, sea spray, heaps, nuttiness, yep. What a treat! A serious, serious white wine of depth, insane freshness, mouth puckering tang and freshness. It’s a wine that sets you back in your seat a bit; big impact, not a big wine. So much detail here in texture, layers of fruit and savouriness, minerality and vibrancy. Wildly delicious too. Length for days as well.It’s a wine that sets you back in your seat a bit; big impact, not a big wine. |

Vinous (92)Restrained on the nose, hinting at rich mango and peach, along with subtle tobacco and white pepper. Despite its warmth, muscle and opulence, the overripe apricot extract remains agile owing to the wine's finely chiseled structure. More opulent than elegant, this veltliner will be much more interesting five years down the road. At present, I prefer Schutt and Loibenberg. |

Vinous (96)Pale green-yellow. Inviting, multilayered bouquet combines pineapple, juicy apricot and peach, blossom honey and orange zest. Juicy, complex and incredibly refreshing, with delicately extracted sweet fruit and a distinct orange component. The wine's brilliant acid structure and tightly woven texture give it superb precision and focus. Dark mineral notes persist impressively on the finish. This brisk wine is bursting with youth and already offers tremendous drinking pleasure, but should continue to gain in complexity for many, many years. Drink through 2022+. |

Cool and delicate, racy and refined, this is extremely expressive and subtle with an incredibly firm, mineral core.

Wine Advocate (100)Fermented and aged in 500-liter tonneaux, the 2018 Grüner Veltliner Unendlich is intense in its radiant lemon yellow color. Aged on the full lees for a year and assembled about four weeks prior to bottling, the 2018 opens with a very intense, complex and finely oaky bouquet of concentrated pineapples, ripe stone fruits and some dashes of fresh lemon juice. Full-bodied, rich and round on the palate, with remarkably fine acidity and precision, this is a very intense, powerful and creamy-textured Unendlich with tropical and hedonistic fruit aromas but this precise and sharp Kellerberg acidity that cuts through like a laser sword. The 2018 Unendlich is incredibly long but keeps the focus and precision and finishes not only fresh but also finessed. Incredible. The 500-liter Meursault barrels were just perfect for this wine and deliver not only an aromatic spiciness and warm complexity but also very fine tannins and this transparency that stainless steel would never would have caused. This is amazing wine. Wine lovers of the world, unite and take over! The nose is very intense and stimulating, but there is nothing vulgar. The finish is enormously intense, rich and sweet but with sharp crystalline acidity that brings the wine back home to the Wachau after excursions into the Rhône and Meursault. 15.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in June 2021. |
