Reviews
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Reviewer, Pierre Rovani - The 2000 #8 Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese Zwischen den Seen (7.5% alcohol, 314.2 grams residual sugar/liter, and 7.2 grams/liter total acidity) displays scents of smoky apricots, mangoes, botrytis-laden papayas, and passion fruit. White pepper, jammy peaches, pears, assorted exotic fruits and a myriad of spices are found in its viscous, syrup-like core. Immensely complex, dense, and outrageously concentrated, its interminable flavor profile refuses to relinquish its grasp on the palate. Drink it over the next 35-45+ years.Additional Information

AustriaWith 70% of Austria’s vineyards planted with white grape varietals, it is no wonder that Austrian wines have become synonymous with dry to sweet whites. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are just a few of the varietals that thrive in Austria’s cool climate. The Alps, foggy valleys, rolling hillsides, rocky soil – Austria is a variable landscape suited to more than 30 “approved” varieties. Producers like Hirtzberger, Schloss Gobelsburg and Bründlmayer make excellent dry examples, while delicious German-style sweet wines - Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese, and Eiswein – come from Alois Kracher and Willi Opitz.
