94 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Pale green-yellow. Seductive aromas of fully ripe peach, apple blossom and orange zest. Complex and multilayered, with juicy peach and apricot complemented by nutmeg and lemon. An agile acid structure allows the flavors to dance over the palate. The wine's delicately extracted sweetness is harmoniously integrated. Aromatic flavors linger like a delicate veil on the finish. Offers excellent aging potential. Drink 2010 to 2027." (Nov/Dec '08) According to importer Terry Theise: "The name refers to Bründlmayer’s trellising method, a Y-shaped system that looks 'as if the vine is throwing its arms up toward the heavens,' says Willi. This system also more than doubles the leaf-surface exposed to sunlight and encourages quick drying of leaf and grape alike after a rain. Willi also wants to demonstrate you don’t need old vines to make great wine. But there’s more. 'Lyra is the wine of the sun,' says Willi, the brainchild. 'Whereas Alte Reben is the wine of the soil, the darker underground. You drink each wine with a different part of yourself.' What a lovely thing to say."
