Ried Steinmassl

Riesling

2022

Kamptal DAC, Erste Lage ÖTW

Available in our shop

Sparkling clean, ‘grapy’-zesty Riesling bouquet including notes of juniper & Braeburn apples, fresh and dry, juicy though still a bit reduced in its first years, red-berry aromas on the palate, super straight, one would like to say ‘slim fit’ with a fragrant touch of fruity sweetness before the long finish.

The vines are partially trained in the Lyre-system. The vine bifurcates in a way that the branches seem to reach to the heavens like sun-worshippers. This method doubles canopy exposure and favors aeration which improves photosynthesis and prevents dreaded fungus diseases.

The 2022 vintage
Conditions in September 2022, right at the beginning of harvest, seemed relatively favourable for the Kamptal vintners: With the exception of a dry first quarter, our region had been spoiled with well-distributed rainfalls as well as many sunny hours. Our vineyards were looking healthy and still full of vitality. There had hardly been any frost and we only had suffered minor hail damage on Käferberg and Lamm, which happened early in summer and thus reduced the quantity but not the quality of the grapes. Ripeness was about a week ahead of 2021, but did start still a good deal later than in warm years such as 2017, 2018 and 2019. The...

Maturation

The meager, stony soil provides small berries with concentrated flavor. As far as Riesling is concerned, an important part of the flavor is stored in the grape skins and is set free only by extremely slow pressing of up to 8 hours duration or prolonged skin contact over night.

Fermentation is done in stainless steel & big, used oak barrels and maturation is completed on 5-10% of the lees.

Food pairing recommendation

All types of starters, seafood, marinated, smoked or grilled fish, fried chicken or Schnitzel; white meats, a good alternative to red wine in combination with roast fat duck; matches with all sorts of Pan Asian cuisine.

Kamptal DAC, Erste Lage ÖTW

Citrus peel, white flowers, stone fruit and gooseberry dominate the graceful aromatic arc, delicate and bright fruit nuances on the palate, dry, fresh and pure with more yellow fruit and great acidity to match leading to a mineral and slightly spicy finish.

Lime & gooseberry dominate the graceful aromatic arc, delicate & bright fruit nuances; this vintage is particularly elegant, with delicate focus & prominent minerality, beautiful fruit of vineyard peach with acidity to match, all in fine balance.

2017
Kamptal DAC, Erste Lage ÖTW

The Steinmassel, formerly understandably categorized as Reserve, offers a brilliant opening act: an elegantly drawn blend of gooseberry and red peach, lively and already multi-layered with a robust base note that continues on the palate with crystal clear, pale fruit nuances. Exhilarating, yet also simultaneously deep; impressive substance pairs with a fine, racy play of acid. Long finish and plenty of potential for further development. Unquestionably the best Steinmassel ever.
Viktor Siegl

Ultra good drinking here, simple and vital done well, juicy green apple flavours, cut of citrusy acidity. It’s fragrant and fun, bright and fresh, good length, tightly wound, riesling DNA writ large. No brainer for good times.

Langenloiser Steinmassel

Riesling

2016
Kamptal DAC, Erste Lage ÖTW

A cool beginning with scents of pine forest, juniper and red peach leaping out of the glass. Hearty and robust; very lively with a good medium body, crisp freshness and ample extract; chisseled with vibrant acidity that is soon to integrate completely. Beautiful grip.

Langenloiser Steinmassel

Riesling

2015
Kamptal DAC, Erste Lage ÖTW

Smoky beginning, with touches of both yellow and white peaches and a cool-tart note. Spicy and savoury with medium weight and a vibrant, racy freshness; quite muscular with a firm acidity backbone. Impeccable. Will soon be ready for drinking pleasure.
