Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

2016 was a difficult year in Wachau with a lot of crop loss to a huge frost. You would not know it by this fine wine. Mild honey and petrol on the nose. There is lots of ripe fruit on the textured palate. It is peppery on top of a gravelly minerality. Concentrated and well structured. Full bodied with a long finish. Try it with Weiner Schnitzel! Tasted May 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
