"The 2023 Riesling Dürnsteiner Federspiel was picked at the foot of the Loibenberg alongside the terraces of Loibenberg and Burgstall, Hochstasser and Mühlpoint. Lovely citrus is aromatic with tangerine and crushed citrus foliage. Immediate tension and brightness, brimming with gorgeous citrus aromatics, make you stand to attention. This is Riesling with a capital R, bright, tense, taut and oh-so-fresh. It is lip-smacking and lovely. (Bone-dry)"

"Clear and linear riesling showing aromas of lime peel, gooseberries, kumquats and wet stones. It,s medium-bodied, lively and energetic, with zippy acidity and a crisp, dry finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"The 2022 Riesling Dürnsteiner Federspiel was picked from various smaller parcels on the foot of the Loibenberg, including terraces of Loibenberg and Burgstall. Exquisitely pure bergamot notes are fragrant and enticing on the nose. The palate is chiseled, fine and taut, with a slightly riper note of citrus that reminds of Meyer lemon, yet still with the fragrant green citrus frisson. This is a bright, pure wine of exquisite slenderness and citrus fragrance. (Bone-dry)"
