🇦🇹I have long been a massive fan of Austrian wines for a few reasons: Coming out of the shadow and sticking to its guns within a very short timeframe (first established DAC came in 2006) and moving towards the future with higher and higher quality wines of its own (few international varieties planted where local varieties thrive) [...] . ✔@salomonundhof has been one of the leading voices for that change. Located in the heart of the Kremstal DAC in lower Austria on the Danube, established in 1792, this family estate never fails to impress me. . 🍇Solely focusing on 2 grape varieties very dear to the area, Riesling and Grüner Veltliner along with being a new member to the Osterreichiche Traditionsweingüter, very few names have taken Austrian wine on the world map as much as these guys [...] . ✅Believer of a Burgundian approach (single vineyard wines) with high proportion of stainless steel tanks and some large neutral oak barrels, very strict vineyard selection is also achieved [...] . 🍀Ried Kőgl shows Riesling shining at its best. Great freshness, stoniness and stone fruits showing. On the palate, honeydew melon, canned peach and again amazing salty touch. Bracing acidity. Does so well at showing how balanced Riesling still is grown in a warmer climate.
