Wohlmuth, Kitzeck-Sausal Riesling 2022

93 points Falstaff
"Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. Fine yellow tropical fruit, delicate mango and papaya, a hint of tangerine zest, inviting bouquet. Juicy with white peach, freshly structured, lemony touch in the finish, a lively food wine."

90 points Wine Advocate
"From several very low yielding vineyards on red slate and quartz soils, the 2022 Kitzeck-Sausal Riesling opens with a clear, bright and intense, beautifully ripe and refreshing Riesling aroma intertwined with coolish layers of slate and lemons. Medium to full-bodied, lush and elegant on the palate, this is a lively and refined, playful and mineral dry Riesling with a juicy and saline finish with lemon bitters. It is mouth-filling but lifted and finessed. Gerhard Wohlmuth describes the 2022 Rieslings as "very austere, even without the addition of sulfur," and "enormously spicy." 12.5% stated alcohol."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Kitzeck im Sausal is a village that deserves high praise. That’s because it boasts the highest-in-elevation wine estates in Austria. But it takes more than a mountaintop to create great wine. It takes many generations of the Wohlmuth family who have been making 100% single-estate-grown wine here since 1803! Tasting Notes: Crushed lemon leaf and freshly grated lemon zest make for a lifted and invigorating nose. The palate continues in this pristine, lemony fashion, brimming with mouthwatering freshness and utter charm. It offers taut slenderness with a zingy, bone-dry flavor.
