2007 Stift Goettweig Riesling Silberbichl Kremstal DAC Reserve
Stift Goettweig
The Silberbichl is a broad terrace vineyard perched above the Danube river, and comprised of "old Danube” gravel and weathered stone that are covered with loess. This vineyard was documented as a site already in 1562. The name "Silber“ (silver) probably comes from “Glimmer” (micaslate) - which can be found here in large pieces; "Bichl” is a variation of "Bühel”, or hill. This southeast-facing site lies in the wine-growing area of Wachau. Riesling is planted here because it is ideally suited to the soil.
TASTING
Pristine, slaty nose, with just a touch of damp earth freshness and some lime buried underneath. Much the same on the palate. Great line through this, but still some generosity through the middle. Limes and spices to finish. Love the tension.

Apricots and peaches, but still very close-knit and not quite giving at this stage. A broad steel blade of acidity and beautiful in a fierce Boudicca kind of way.
