Description

On the nose this Zahel Riesling is calm and beautifully pure… sun-warmed ripe peach skin to the fore, maybe an elusive hint of ginger… not a lot more… not at first anyway, which does not really adequately prepare you for the first sip. It is hugely, impressively, wonderfully booompphhhh. There is some residual sugar, but its only around 5.5g/l, the rest of it is pure ripeness and then the juiciness and acidity literally flood through and it is so polished as well. Lots of depth. For something this appealing, this commercial and this downright delicious to manage to come across as genuinely fine rather than tarty or crass is quite an amazing feat! Form a disorderly queue now!

Delivery Information

This wine is made from grapes from a single vineyard named Reisberg, situated within the city limits of the Austrian capital Vienna. The 40-year-old vines grow an poor, chalky soil. The spontaneous fermentation takes place in stainless steel vessels, as does the maturation. The Zahel Maurerberg Ried Reisberg Riesling 2019 can be stored for three to five years, but drinks wonderfully now.

Alex & Hillary Zahel are the 4th generation winemaker of Zahel, having been passed the torch by Alex’s uncle Richard. Since taking the lead, they proudly continues the tradition of ushering Vienna’s most charming wines from the vineyard into the bottle. The family also runs a Heurigen, a wine tavern serving local food and wine. The vineyards can be found just on the outskirts of Vienna and literally calling for wine lovers to visit.
