Liechtenstein Niederösterreich Ried Karlsberg Cuvée trocken 2021

94 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2021 Ried Karlsberg is blended from roughly half Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. In contrast to the 2022, here, the Grüner seems more present at first, sending subtle pepper and salty yeast, but then stretching into Riesling's elongated, extended, stretched citrus length. All of this peppery suppleness is carried along, leaving you with vividly fresh, tingling, zesty length. Despite having been fermented in mostly used tonneaux, there is no discernible oak, just a gorgeous texture with a long finish on a bone-dry style. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2028-2050. (Jul 2024)"

92 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright medium yellow-green with silver reflections. Delicate yellow apple, fine meadow-herb savouriness and mineral touches. Medium complexity palate with white stone fruit, it is creamy, has integrated acidity and a salty touch on the finish. Well developed, it is a versatile companion at the table. (Aug 2024)"

Producer notes: "Finely moulded by the soils of its origin, deeply structured and firmly supported by the freshness of pronounced minerality. Our grand cuvée of old vines. Alcohol 13%."
