Weingut Wess Riesling Ried Kögl 1ÖTW, Kremstal 2023

White Wine from Austria - Lower Austria

0 Reviews

The Kögl vineyard borders the town of Krems, sitting to the north-west, and is made up of many often rugged-looking parcels of old vines, on the steep terraced hillside. Weingut Wess` vines are around 50 years old and planted on harsh stony soils, which seem to impart a mineral quality to the wine. This minerality is balanced by a considerable richness and generosity, with tropical-fruit notes which come from the south and south-easterly exposure that make this a warm and ripe site. This wine shows 'puppy fat' in its youth, with notable opulence, though as it matures it maintains its intensity whilst becoming more chiselled, savoury and defined. A very smart riesling, stylistically similar to those of the bordering Wachau region, albeit at a fraction of the price. Drink 2026 to 2038.

Weingut Wess

Rainer Wess initially studied oenology at Klosterneuburg in the 1980s, and then went to work in various vineyards in Bordeaux. He moved back to Austria in the late 1990s and fell in love with the vineyards of the Wachau and Kremstal, finally purchasing vineyards of his own in 2003.

He purchased 10ha of vineyards in both Kremstal and Wachau. From the outset the focus was on riesling and grüner veltliner, and carefully trying to match these varieties with the perfect plots within vineyards so that the wines might express great terroir. The vines are farmed very carefully with little if any chemicals used, and at harvest the grapes are hand picked. Today, his brilliant winemaker daughter Christina and son-in-law David have taken over the rains from Rainer and continue to bring the terroir into the bottle in as unadulterated and as pure a form as possible.

The winery is housed in a monastery’s ancient cellar right in the middle of the famed Sandgrube vineyard in Krems. Rainer added a new gravity-flow grape-reception facility to the old building in order to ensure that grapes were processed in the gentlest way possible, without pumps. The juice and wine is carefully handled without any oak, which enhances the purity they seek.
