Description

My immediate thought was Nikolaihof! Such an incredible, complete wine. Delicious, laryered, playful. Ripe phenolics, wonderful texture and flow. Insane uber ripe lemon and florals.

Another cracking example of long aging Austrian whites in barrel. 6 ½ years on lees in large old acacia yielding refinement and development with incredible energy.

Ridiculous for the coin!

The 2015 Grüner Veltliner Grosse Reserve spent 6.5 years on gross lees in a 2,000-liter acacia barrel. The nose brims with lemon and dried lemon peel lift, almost edging into menthol. The palate is rounded with ripeness but totally direct in its utter peppery intensity. White pepper is front and center here, transported by a superb freshness that is surprising for this warm year. Concentration, brightness, vividness and verve are exquisite here—so is the length. (Bone-dry) Nov. 2023

About Weingut Geyerhof

The history of the old estate began almost 800 years ago, in the little village of Oberfucha in Kremstal, Lower Austria. Here, winemaking has been part of our family’s life for more than 14 generations, an occupation deeply rooted in the landscape. Today, as well as in the past, arable land, hedgerows, cattle, draft horses, chickens and bees complete our idea of holistic farming. Diversity instead of monoculture. The vine as a smaller part of a larger whole.

In the Vineyard

Only by giving nature a place in and around the vineyard we are able to receive back the best nature has to offer. Since 1988, the 23 ha of vines and 27 ha of arable land have been farmed according to organic principles.

Over 13% of our land consist of hedges and nature conservation areas. Diverse cover crops with numerous wild herbs offer an additional habitat for a multitude of useful insects in our vineyards. The ecological interplay renders the use of insecticides unnecessary, reinforces the resilience of the vines.

Our team spends over 5000 hours pruning, trellising and working on the root stocks and canopies. Exclusive hand-harvesting is for us and our staff the highlight of an intense viticultural year.

The courage to harvest late is rewarded year after year with phenolically fully ripe fruit, which in combination with low yields, lends the wines complexity, concentration and depth.

In the Winery

In the cellar, our main goal is to safeguard the level of quality created in the vineyard and to maintain the individuality of the wines through our purposeful “low-intervention” approach. Our actions in the cellar are therefore determined by a respect for the origins of our craft.
Staying well clear of “magical” enzymes, fining agents and specially cultured yeasts, we try to make do with the absolute minimum of interventions and technology. Top wines are made in the vineyard, there is nothing one can add in the cellar. The hygienic advantages of modern cellar technology in the form of stainless steel tanks, steam cleaners and renewable energy from solar panels are of course part of our approach – we don’t want to go back to the 19th century.
Ostentatious, loud and opulent wines have never been our thing. The quality of our wines lies in their individuality and longevity. In times of regulations, laws and market pressure, they can and should reflect the characteristics of the soil, the grape variety and the vintage. Sometimes rough and complex, at other times light and carefree: as variable as the years, life and people themselves.

Fritz Haag Riesling Braunberger-Juffer Sonnenuhr Auslese Gold Cap 2019
A beauty close to perfection. It displays intense, perfectly ripe, healthy and refined raisin fruit on the nose along with tropical hints, herbal notes and dashes of lemon juice, while the stony/mineral expressions remain rather in the background but still add excitement and distinction. On the palate, this is an incredibly juicy, piquant, refined, salty and weightless yet intense Riesling with concentrated but highly stimulating fruit. The finish is long and amazing in its sensual finesse and e

Fritz Haag Riesling Braunberger-Juffer Sonnenuhr Auslese 375ml 2019
Highly refined on the nose and shows delicately aromatic fruit with a nose -tickling minerality of crushed stones and herbs. Round and juicy as well as highly finessed and salty on the palate, this is a fantasti c sweet Riesling. It is so fine and filigreed, so delicate and salty that you don't taste any sweetness here—just a dream of the finest Mosel Riesling. This is dangerously good, piquant and tensioned, and you will drink a bottle far too quickly. An outrageous Auslese! Drink 2026-2060

Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese #10 2018
"AP: 10 19. The 2018er Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese AP 10 was harvested at just above 90° Oechsle and was fermented down to fully fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. This offers telltale aromatics including pear, quince, greengage, laurel and caraway. The wine is packed with fruits, spices and herbs and yet remains incredibly filigreed right into the spicy finish. This is a superb effort and a great Spätlese with real Spätlese character. 2028-2048"Mosel Fine Wines
