Review Date: 11/2022Another stunning Steiner Hund dry riesling from Nikolaihof! Deep and complex nose with a ton of flint, but also crushed-rock, quince and pomelo aromas. For the very warm vintage this is astonishingly cool and restrained, with beautiful wet-stone minerality intertwined with the elegant acidity. Very long, silky finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

The 2017 Riesling Steiner Hund, formerly called Reserve, was grown in Stein on terraced, stony vineyards across the Danube, and is thus labeled Niederösterreich. Subtle peach and straw on the nose have the slightest floral overtone. Concentrated, buffered and intense, the palate is vivid, with lemony, waxy, yeasty brightness. Those flavors arrive and persist with depth that is long, lasting, enticing and appetizing in its super-salty style. (Bone-dry)(AK)

The 2017 Ried Steiner Hund Riesling is pure, precise, coolish and flinty as well as herbal on the nose. Tight, fresh, intense and mineral on the palate, this is a pure, bright, fresh and energetic, savory and very persistent Riesling with stimulating character and a long, complex finish without too much power. In fact, it is a rather light yet dense and intense Hund. This is what Riesling can do: inspire, salivate and entertain. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in January 2025.(SR)
