Hexenbichler is a popular red wine made from 100% Vernatsch with varieties such as small, medium and grey Vernatsch. Pleasantly full-bodied, persistent and round. The great harmony is due to the low yields and the (formerly common) variety diversity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense sweet violet flavours with an assertive peppery character and super-fresh blackcurrant fruit. A lean body with zesty acidity and velvety, crisp and slightly dry tannins. Balanced finish." James Suckling

Full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon from the Freising sites south of Rungg near Tramin. Complex in bouquet and taste, with hints of blackcurrant, dried fruit, chocolate, green pepper, cedar and tobacco. SUPERIORE.DE

Fine, slightly aromatic Sauvignon with a typically idiosyncratic varietal bouquet reminiscent of nettle and elderberry. Wonderfully lively fruit on the palate with notes of green pepper, mint and gooseberry and a savoury, crisp acidity. The finish is long and leaves a chalky minerality that is emphasised by a hint of tropical flowers. SUPERIORE.DE

The name Glarea is of Rhaeto-Romanic origin and means gravel. The grapes for this mineral and very harmonious Chardonnay grow at an altitude of around 250 metres on the lower part of the Höllenbach debris cone in soils rich in limestone and gravel. Thanks to the low hillside location and the proximity to the valley floor, a unique microclimate is created here, characterised by considerable temperature fluctuations. During the day, the Glarea vineyards enjoy very warm temperatures, which are replaced by cool air masses in the late hours of the night and early morning, giving it a lovely tautness and freshness.

Straw yellow with greenish reflections. Ripe banana, dried apricot and pineapple on the nose. Lively freshness on the palate, juicy full-bodied and taut minerality, long and harmonious final. Glarea is an extremely likeable jack-of-all-trades that is best enjoyed with savoury starters. SUPERIORE.DE

Marjun presents itself in a ruby to garnet red colour and develops a harmonious aroma of wild berries, plums and cherries in the glass, underpinned by a spicy herbal note. This fruity and juicy Pinot Noir, which impresses with its delicate structure and soft tannins, is cool and firm on the palate. The profile of the Marjun is rounded off by a refreshing acidity, which is indicative of the high altitudes of its vineyards. On the finish, this elegant Pinot Noir impresses with its juicy fruitiness and lingering flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

Pinot Grigio Unterebner is an exceptional wine: golden yellow in colour, elegant aromas of blossom honey, lavender and tropical fruit. Delicate buttery notes, very balanced and charismatic, long and powerful on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Light, bright straw yellow colour. Restrained on the nose, peach, pear, hints of apricot. Powerful and exciting on the palate, wood noticeable, but the fruit is in the foreground, warming but well-integrated alcohol, long final with wood underpinning." Falstaff

"The 2022 Pinot Grigio Unterebner is unobtrusive with a nuanced blend of dusty dried flowers and freshly sliced green apples. It's racy, with a pleasant inner sweetness and a cooling acidity that drives the crisp orchard fruit. A saline note lingers as the 2022 rejuvenates with seductive freshness and citrusy concentration." Vinous

"This elegant white wine is lively and well-structured, with fine flavours of poached pear, almond slivers and mandarin oranges, as well as accents of white flowers and vanilla. Creamy and long with a mineral finish." Wine Spectator

"An attractive Pinot Grigio, showing a creamy and mineral layer on its slightly neutral white fruit. Textural and gastronomic, with intense flavours in the mid-palate and a fairly long, taut finish. A subtle flint emerges at the end. This is always an excellent expression." James Suckling

Deep golden yellow in colour. Sweet, spicy aromas of acacia honey, burnt sugar, mango and liquorice on the lush nose. The palate is also multi-layered and rich with opulent flavours of grapefruit, passion fruit, acacia honey and cinnamon, and more than enough acidity to keep it from being broad. The finish is long and beguilingly sweet. Roen is hardly less complex than its more famous "big brother" Terminum and is certainly a spectacular sweet wine. Here, residual sugar, acidity and alcohol content are in marvellous harmony. SUPERIORE.DE

Stoan has a spicy and floral aroma of ginger, crushed apples, savoury herbs and wet slate. It feels soothingly silky yet upbeat, focusing on ripe orchard fruits, along with a subtle hint of candied citrus for contrast. The palate remains crisp and clean with nuances of grapefruit and lime that linger. Firm pressure on the final, savoury. SUPERIORE.DE

The world-famous Gewürztraminer Nussbaumer has been a real benchmark for years and is also a convincing wine in terms of longevity. Bright yellow in colour with greenish reflections. Typically perfect, complex and deep, but also agile and fresh with beautiful nuances. A broad bouquet of rose petals, smoke and oriental spices. On the palate it flows silky smooth, velvety and spicy, lingers for a long time, great! SUPERIORE.DE

"Quite a fine, somewhat nutty, floral and herbaceous-vegetable citrus nose with pome and stone fruit notes, a hint of lychee, some yellow spice and orange zest. Ripe, juicy, tightly knit fruit with yellow spice, nutty flavours and floral tones, very fine acidity and a certain sweetness, power and melting on the palate, but also bite, fine vegetal notes, a hint of caramel, moderate grip, persistent, restrained power, certain depth, quite complex, a hint of vanilla and smoke, very good, firm, juicy and spicy finish." Wein-Plus

"Bright and aromatic, with rich notes of lychee, melon, rose petals, peach skin and tangerine as well as savoury hints of blood orange, white pepper and cardamom. This silky, delicious version has a pleasant hint of pink grapefruit peel on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Intense aromas of orange blossoms, honeysuckle, spiced tropical fruit and lychees. Off-dry and full-bodied on the palate, with creamy flavors and a long, composed finish. Moderate acidity with a subtle saline smack at the end. A delicious gewurztraminer to enjoy now." James Suckling

Maglen, the Pinot Noir Riserva, has class. Full-bodied, persistent and full of tension, it delights with its forest berry flavour and beautiful herbal spice in the nose and mouth. Very elegant and polished on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Pinot Noir Riserva Maglen begins with dark fruits, plums and blackcurrants, followed by wet slate. The wine is concise, clear and bright. It also shows a subtle hint of something smoked. However, the mouthfeel is lean and light." Wine Advocate

"A cool, elegant Pinot Noir with lots of berries, grapefruit and hints of vanilla spice, Earl Grey and stones. Juicy and structured on the palate with a medium to full body, impressive tension and mineral drive on the berry-accentuated finish." James Suckling
