Tegernseerhof Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Dürnsteiner

Dee and Christina enjoyed this one

This was one of two Austrian Rieslings I drank recently, and I unfortunately came to the conclusion that I didn't really like either bottle. They both suffered from tasting a bit flat (no good pop of acidity) and lacked any solid secondary taste characteristics, beyond a somewhat distressing and pervasive smell of rubber. I will likely try to stick to German Riesling from here on out, or at least until I encounter a producer that offers a different experience/better tasting …

Bottle 1252g. Screwcap. Aromas of elevated intensity, lime, floral top note, light kerosene. Dry, with pronounced acidity, light to medium-bodied, 12.5% abv. Salted lime on the palate, and again a little kerosene.

Clean, light bodied, winery is the oldest in Austria
