97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "What a complex aroma profile this has, from grapefruit and pineapple to nutmeg, thyme, sage and salted butter. It’s full-bodied and deliciously creamy, textured, with subtle smoky and burnt sage undertones to the fruit and minerals. Super long, compact and serious. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Glass stopper. (12/5/23)"
96 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. Fine meadow herbs, yellow fruit, soft notes of elderflower, some mace, opens with air. Complex, juicy, fine nuances of white currants, elegant, finely woven acidity, subtle blossom honey on the finish, a balanced food wine. (7/10/23)"
94 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "From 18-year-old vines on a cooler clay plateau on coralline limestone framed by a little forest, the 2020 Ried Zieregg Kapelle GSTK offers a clear and intense, wonderfully reductive and slightly iodine nose with gooseberries, blackcurrant, grapefruit, lime and herbal fruit aromas. Aged in pièces and 700-liter oak barrels and bottled in April this year, this is a full-bodied, intense and lush, fruit-intense yet firmly structured and still slightly bitter-finishing Sauvignon Blanc that is the most fruity of the Zieregg selections and is thus aged in smaller barrels to avoid too exuberant fruit. The finish unites bitter grapefruit and lemon notes with grippy phenolics and terroir-driven salinity. This is an excellent Kapelle that is a kind of bridge between the Grassnitzberg Riff and the south-facing Zieregg. 13% stated alcohol. Glass stopper. Tasted in May 2023. Drink: 2027-2048. (9/29/23)"
