Malat, Silberbichl Riesling Kremstal 2019

96 points Wine Enthusiast
"Fresh tangerine and Mandarin notes dance on the nose and continue right onto the palate. Here, they are joined by a bright, vivid streak of lemon freshness that makes the senses tingle and the mouth water. This is streamlined but luminous, straight-laced but frivolous and wonderfully profound. The tangerine length on the finish is astonishing."

"From a northeast-facing terrace built by the Ur-Donau River, the 2019 Furth Ried Silberbichl 1ÖTW Kremstal Riesling is intense in its lemon color and on the nose, which displays a crunchy, stony tone intermixed with elegant, ripe and well-concentrated (stone) fruit aromas. Round, refined and elegant on the palate, this is a fruity and charming but also vital and finely mineral Silberbichl with a long and intense yet well-balanced and playful finish. 13% alcohol. Tasted at Schloss Gobelsburg in June 2021. Tasted again in Grafenegg in early September, the Silberbichl Riesling was clear, intense and spicy on the elegant and refined but also dense and crystalline nose. Juicy, round and refined on the palate, this is a very elegant, salty-piquant and sustainable dry Riesling with the rare Malat purity and finesse. Very stimulating and promising."

"North-easterly aspect south of the Danube. 'Silber' because of the mica schist soils.
Wild and herbal on the nose, already a sense of energy and piercing freshness. On the palate, the freshness is both sour and salty, so mouth-watering. Stony-dry texture, long salty aftertaste. This is really not about fruit flavours, but the fruit gives a foundation to the mineral character – it would be lean without it. One for the long term. 17.5/20 points. (JH)"
