“The super flinty nose makes this feel like a top Pouilly-Fume! However, this has a staggering succulence that leaves you speechless. Very fine peachy fruit is married to a fabulous minerality that echoes down the valleys. Dangerously vibrant finish that doesn’t want to stop! Drink or hold."

“The 2021 Zeltinger Schlossberg Auslese Schmitt exhibits a very clear, coolish and piquant bouquet with concentrated white (stone) fruit and crushed stone aromas with some hints of caramel. Very delicate and finessed on the palate, this is a piquant and saline, crystalline and playful Auslese in a digestible sweet style. The finish is crunchy, crystalline and slatey, which gives iodine flavors and lots of tension that uplifts the richness of this promising beauty. Tasted as a sample ready to be bottled in July 2022."
