Shiraz 2013
Very good colour; a bouquet of perfectly balanced
dark fruits, dark chocolate and oak is replayed on the
medium to full-bodied palate; the tannins that
accompany the fruit are substantial, but ripe and
balanced.

Domäne Wachau
Terrassen Federspiel
Grüner Veltliner 2015
Cellarhand
Grassy green hints play with faint tropical notes of
passion fruit. The palate is taut and fresh and
provides that wonderfully phenolic backdrop that
makes Grüner such a success at the table. There is
concentration and ample stores of fruit underneath
that cool exterior, waiting to be plunged into.
Emmerich Knoll Loibner
Federspiel
Riesling 2015
Cellarhand
The 2015 Loibner Riesling Federspiel is lovely
aromatic and ripe on the elegant and very
distinguished nose (as if it were a Muskateller).
Medium-bodied, round and piquant this is an
expressive, salty and stimulating Riesling that's just
perfect to drink today. With 12.5% alcohol, this wine
is on the upper level of the light Federspiel category.
A beauty that would be a cash cow in any restaurant
that offers it by the glass.
Groiss
Gemischter Satz 2016 Cellarhand
Although the nose is restrained, fresh, ripe notions of
Mirabelle and yellow apple can be made out. The
palate is bright and poised, shot through with lemon
zestiness and lip-smacking freshness. Dry, toned
and slender, it's packed with bright, citrusy fruit.
Pittnauer
Rosé 2016 Cellarhand
This dusty, savoury Austrian expression of the
Blaufränkisch variety smells of red cherries and
flowers backed by cranberry and marzipan. It’s long
and smooth, with juicy, almost sour-edged,
raspberry and red cherry fruit punctuated by
refreshingly bright acids and underscored by a fine,
dusty extract.

Pittnauer “Pitti”
Blaufränkisch/Zweigelt 2015 Cellarhand
Intense kind of wine but geez it feels good to drink.
It’s heady in dark fruit, prune, cinnamon, cola and
anise scents. The palate is a punchy wash of dark
fruits, kirsch, faint herbs. It’s juicy but has pops of
bright acidity through it, making it feel a touch wild,
but also, supremely refreshing as a red.
Bründlmayer
Terrassen
Grüner Veltliner 2015
Cellarhand
A funky yeasty richness still lingers on this very
young wine, the palate, however, shows all the
promise of a concentrated yet refreshing wine: there
is ripe, juicy pear flesh at the core, framed by zesty
lime that swings with the peppery freshness of
arugula and watercress.
AUS DEN DÖRFERN
Rosi Schuster
Cuvée Weiß 2016
Cellarhand
Golden colour and plenty of polish to go with it.
Apples and pears dusted with spice, saltwater,
grilled nuts, fresh apricot. Medium bodied, peppery
texture and taste, and also quite flinty, with a range
of fruit flavours, though to a large extent, it’s not
really fruity at all. It’s briny and delicious, with a long
dry and dusty finish.
Rosi Schuster
St. Laurent 2015 Cellarhand
Nose shows attractive layers of rose petals and ripe
strawberries with a gravely edge. Beautiful savoury
palate; complex but lightweight with chewy tannins
rarely seen in other varietals.
Rosi Schuster
Blaufränkisch 2015 Cellarhand
Peaty, meaty, pepper and spice, but with a core of
juice bramble fruit. It’s medium bodied with spiced
sour cherry flavour, fine but silty tannin, and a lively
finish that closes with a sweet orange tang and dried
herb.

solid, leesy palate, slightly fat, but has the lively
acidity to balance it.

A solid example of this variety. Smelling of apple pie
with nutty notes and loads of upfront ripe fruit
flavours. "A lovely balanced drink", said one judge.
