White Wine

Hiedler Phenomenon Riesling 2023, Kamptal D.A.C., Austria: Kamptal Riesling tends to combine minerality with real fruit purity, and this bottling shows both in a pale, silvery-green glass. The fruit leans tropical rather than orchard, with citrus zest keeping things bright. Acidity stays sharp through the palate, and just a trace of sugar shows up at the very end. It already drinks beautifully despite its youth. A lively wine like this suits everything from roast chicken to spicy dishes. Riesling food pairings: roast chicken, spicy dishes. Drink: 2026 - 2028 49083 12.5% XD 750 mL $24.95 Score: 92/100. July 2026. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
