From a blend of nine different grapes, all picked together in the traditional Gemischter Satz style, this is pure Vienna. For such a seemingly haphazard way of working, this is a stylish, complex wine, with flavors coming from all directions. Nuts, ripe fruits and spice all contribute, as does good minerality. ——R.V.(10/1/2006)—— 92

From a small parcel of mixed old vines (alte reben) in the Nussberg vineyard, this wine combines ripe pear and melon flavors with an intense stony minerality. The mouthfeel is slightly oily without being overly weighty or rich; the finish is long, long, long.——J.C.(12/15/2004)—— 90
