Note di degustazione
From the oldest vines (45-65 years) on three rieden (Spitzer, Obere Roterd and Pannhölzer), the 2018 Prellenkirchen Ried Spitzerberg 1ÖTW opens with a pure, refined and mineral bouquet with notes of wild herbs, crushed stones and a crystalline purity whose ascetic character always reminds me of slate or very pure limestone. On the palate, this is a concentrated and intense yet very fine and juicy red wine with a very long and intense finish. The tannins are chalky and refined, and the fruit is perfectly ripe and elegant. The wine has remarkable finesse and elegance. Very promising. Tasted as a sample hours before the bottling in June 2020.

Limestone soils. 33% stems. Blaufränkisch. Mid crimson. Lighter than some. Open and scented already with red and dark-red fruits and a subtle stemmy fragrance adding a herbal quality while still fully ripe. And that lovely limestone dustiness. On the palate, silky, refined texture. So fluid across the palate, the tannins supremely delicate without any loss of structure. Fresh, lively acidity. Perfect balance and, although I could drink this now, having tasted some older vintages, I can see this will age well. Pure, scented and long. Superbly hidden structure. (JH)
