Vintage 2022

We picked the 2022 Riesling classic on 3 October in Ried Neudeck in Teesdorf. Before that, Austria had a hot summer with little rain. It was pale yellow with green glints, with lime, green apple and a hint of flint. On the palate crisp, with lively acidity, citrus and stone fruit, finishing mineral. The 2.000 litres have since been drunk, so this vintage is over at the winery.
