The 2022 Zeltinger Schlossberg Riesling GG is beautifully clear, refined and flinty on the intense nose that is coolish and warm at the same time in terms of coolish slate and ripe Riesling aromas. Mouth-filling, round and generous on the palate yet also savory and saline, this is a dense and intense, very mineral, complex and firmly structured Riesling of exceptional class and complexity.

Maybe some riesling freaks will be shocked but this GG really is a no-brainer because of its stunning peachy fruit. Very delicious already thanks to the wonderful interplay of concentrated fruit and elegant acidity, the delicate spritz of natural carbon dioxide accentuating the stony freshness at the long finish. Drink or hold.

(91-93 points) The 2022 Riesling Zeltinger Schlossberg GG is from the Braun parcel above a retaining wall on a southwest-facing part of the Schlossberg with good water availability. The nose slowly reveals lemon, a glint of passion fruit and a touch of hazelnut. The palate is smooth and rounded but guided by a pure and vivid line of ripest Amalfi lemon radiating throughout the wine, accentuating purity, texture and length. There is substance and body, but it is made with a light touch. (Dry) (Drink between 2025-2050)

Offers precision and depth, with zesty mineral and spice notes infusing a base of dried apricot, kumquat and citrus peel. A chamomile detail and floral lift add range midpalate, while the long, dry, mineral-rich finish stretches way out. Drink now through 2035. - KB
