JAMES SUCKLING: "This dry riesling has gigantic concentration, but also gigantic elegance and finesse. Still a little shy on the nose, but this has been made to age for decades. Delicate notes of white peach, pink grapefruit and mountain herbs in the nose, then on the palate also hints of licorice and white chocolate. However, the most extraordinary thing about the wine is the mind-blowing stony intensity at the extremely focused and salty finish. Doesn’t want to stop. Enormous aging potential. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2021 Dürnsteiner Riesling Ried Kellerberg opens with a deep, intense and coolish nose with notes of wet black rocks, Timut pepper berries, black tea leaves and herbs intertwining with concentrated and ripe white-stone and passion fruit aromas. On the palate, this is a rich and concentrated, tightly woven and dense, round and elegant Kellerberg that stopped fermenting at the end of January with seven grams per liter of residual sugar. Still a tiny bit too much for me, but in the long term, this is a terrific Kellerberg. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2022."
