1999 Steinriesler Riesling Trocken, Weingut Nikolaihof
A unique opportunity to taste an aged wine from one of Austria’s most acclaimed producers. Produced as a “federspiel” style, this is akin in weight (if not in sweetness) to a German Kabinett. On the nose, this shows characters of ripe lemon and a touch of wet slate. On the palate, there is a broad weight to the wine, but it is offset by a lively acidity and linear minerality that gives this a real sense of refinement. Like many Austrian wines, this is an ideal wine to have with food as it will complement a broad range of styles perfectly.
