Sepp Moser Ried Gebling Riesling Reserve 2020
Kremstal, Niederösterreich, Weinland Österreich, AustriaThe Moser family is one of Austria’s grand, traditional viticultural dynasties with roots dating back to the 12th Century. The most famous recent descendant of this family is the renowned viticulture pioneer Dr. Lenz Moser, who in the 1950s developed vine training known as the Lenz Moser system, but it was not until 1987 that the Sepp Moser estate reinvented in into its current state. Weingut Sepp Moser was founded by Sepp Moser in 1987 in Rohrendor, Kremstal. His son Nikolaus took over the 61 hectare estate in 2000, converting the estate to biodynamic viticulture (certified 2006) and organics (certified 2009). From the 1er Cru / Erste Lage Ried Gebling and steep loess slopes 200-300m, this was native fermented in stainless where it remained on lees for 1 year prior to bottling with no filtering. Quite concentrated, with quince, white grapefruit, white pepper filling the taut and textural frame, finishing long with lingering stony salinity.Tasted: 26 September 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $36.90 | 750ml | LCBO |
