The 2022 Riesling Bruck Federspiel, also from the lateral valley of the Spitzer Graben, was grown on weathered gneiss and amphibolite. Yeast is far more prevalent here, as is smoky, flinty reduction. The palate brings lemony precision, lemony flavors and lemony zestiness. This is bright, vivid and juicy. There is proper mid-palate traction and body, with a lovely, lasting, crystal-clear tautness—bracing and fresh. (Bone-dry)

This has an attractive nose of star fruit, green pears, honey and lime pith, with some salty and earthy complexity. Medium- to full-bodied, flavorful and textured throughout. Dry and persistent. Sustainable. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.

A delicious and drinkable example of the Federspiel style, with a gentle edge to its pine and alpine herb freshness. Supple and open-knit through the medium, leesy finish, showing mineral concentration and a white pepper element. Drink now through 2026. 1,000 cases made, 84 cases imported.
