Although this is a young and aromatic (fresh quince!) dry riesling, the special winemaking style of Nikolaihof has given it striking, autumnal beauty. Generous, but the finish is delicate. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter certified. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From loessy, loamy and gravelly soils and aged for six months in large oak casks, the 2017 Vom Stein Riesling Federspiel is flinty and fresh on the precise and bright nose with its crushed stone and lemony notes. Mouthfilling, lush, round and piquant on the palate, this is a highly delicate and filigreed 2017 with a long and stimulating, mineral-piquant and salty finish. Very young but already a pleasure. Just delicious! Tasted at the domain in Mautern, September 2018. Drink 2018-2040. (SR)

Wine Spectator
Youthful and delicate, this displays flavors of pear and apricot that mingle at the core of this white, while spice and mineral accents emerge toward the mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2021. 300 cases imported. (BS, Web Only-2018)
