Wohlmuth Riesling Ried Dr. Wunsch
| Vintage: | 2021 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Ried Dr. Wunsch is one of the earliest and most esteemed classified sites in Kitzeck-Sausal and for centuries has been counted among the finest Rieds in Südsteiermark. Opening up toward the Alps, with a high elevation and southerly exposure, this vineyard and its steep and extremely barren red slate soil is surely among the finest vineyards of Riesling anywhere in Austria. It has been laboriously recultivated by Weingut Wohlmuth, which also added terracing. Producing a riesling of intense minerality and acidity, it averages around 1,200 hours of manual labor annually due to the incredibly steep slope (90% gradient). The wine presents an explosive palate of spice and complex minerality alongside notes of juicy mandarin, lime pith and apricot. Late harvested due to the cooler climes with spontaneous fermentation in large oak casks and aged on the lees for 10 months. |
