Speaking of energy, this has plenty, as well as lemon, lime, white pepper and pine spices. There was also some crispy acidity and a cleansing amount of salinity.

Johannes Zillinger Velue Riesling Muskateller Gruner Veltiner 2023

Spicy pink peppercorns and not a lot of tannins, but more spices. Will suit a Gamay drinker thanks to all the cranberry and raspberry, so yes, pick up a roast chicken and chips after you do this bottle.

Johannes Zillinger Velue Rot Zweigelt 2023

A blend of white vineyards that gets a short maceration period and comes through with crispy fruits and electric acidity. Picture some waxy lemons and slices of tropical fruits that are so delicate, they’re almost transparent.

Gut Oggau Theodora 2023

Groiss Gemitscher Satz Braitenpuechtorff 2022

Light and fragrant with a little fleshy melon and salad leaves. This is simple and clean and for all you who want a racy Riesling over lunch-dinner, but offers enough to think about. There’s some nice power here and it’ll do you some shine through if you bring it to the park and dance, glass in hand, to Juliane Werding’s Großstadtlichter after dark.

Winzerkeller Seewinkel Gruner Veltliner 2022

Textured wax that plays like the best vinyl, smooth and hitting all the notes you want and a couple you didn’t even know about. From the honey blossom ripeness to the spritely, pithy, mineral feel that flows over the palate, this is one to come back for and to take BYOing.

Velich Welsch Riesling 2022

Expect a whiff of flinty, gun smoke that blows off to reveal pithy citrus and yellow, crunchy fruits with some fresh acidity tying it nicely together.

Groiss Weinviertal Grüner Veltliner 2022

Drinking Brundlmayer every April feels like rewatching/listening to an old favourite and picking up on something new. This year, that might come through the heightened citrus aromatics, or minerally tingle.
