97 points Claire Nesbitt (JamesSuckling.com): "Aromas of grapefruit, black currants, licorice, mangoes, sage, mustard seeds and tea leaves. It’s full-bodied but fresh and very lively, with intense spicy undertones to the fruit. Fantastic concentration and length. Drink or hold. (9/5/25)"
97 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Medium green yellow, silver reflections. Delicate hints of blood orange, candied mandarin zest, delicately underlain with cassis and blossom honey, multi-faceted bouquet. Complex, full-bodied, ripe peach fruit, lively, mineral and persistent, somewhat darker shades, rich in finesse and long-lasting, already accessible, piquant and with great certain ageing potential. Alcohol 13%. (6/30/25)"
94-96 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "From the youngest part of the Zieregg, which was planted for the very first time in 2006 on one of the most clay-rich parcels in all Austria (on a plateau at 490 meters above sea level), the 2022 Ried Zieregg Kapelle GSTK is intense and generous yet also refined on the nose that reveals blackcurrant and leafy aromas intermingled with woodruff, salt and acorn notes. Aged in 500- and 700-liter barrels for one year and another one and a half to two years on the fine lees, this is a full-bodied, saline and savory, very refreshing and rather greenish-tasting Sauvignon with lime notes and bitters on the very long and saline finish that reveals fine oak aromas and tannins. This is quite a Burgundian Sauvignon from 16-year-old vines. Tasted as a tank sample in April 2025. Drink: 2026-2045. (6/26/25)"
