How full and heavy the wine feels in your mouth, like the difference between skimmed milk and cream. More alcohol, sugar and oak ageing make a wine fuller.
How much sugar you taste, from dry to sweet. Fruity is not the same as sweet: a dry wine can taste of ripe fruit.
How fresh and juicy the wine is: acidity makes your mouth water. High acidity tastes lively and refreshing, low acidity soft and round.

Log inBeautiful organic Riesling from the Kremstal in Lower Austria, the most important wine region of Austria. The Kremstal area is located on both sides of the Danube, around the city of Krems. Producer of this delicious Riesling is quality winery Geyerhof whose vineyards are located on the south side of the Danube below the famous Göttweig monastery. Wine is the focus of daily life at Geyerhof. Joy and respect for life determine the actions and working methods.
The winery was first mentioned in the municipal archives in the 12th century and has been in the family since the 16th century. Ilse and Josef Maier have passionately cultivated 23 hectares of vineyards here since 1988 according to organic regulations. Since 2015, Maria & Josef, the next generation, have joined the family business. Ilse Maier and her son make organic wines at Geyerhof in the Kremstal that are juicy and friendly.
The Goldberg erste lage (1OWT) comes from Riesling grapes from vines that are over 85 years old and only a very limited number of bottles are made (~500 bottles). Beautiful fruit, silky density, incredibly elegant, brilliant, enormous storage potential comes from a vineyard This Riesling Goldberg is complex on the nose with ripe tropical fruit, citrus, honey and mint. The wine has elegant acids and an enormous aftertaste. When drunk young, this Riesling Goldberg is charming and shy. However, storing it for a few years will benefit this wine greatly! The wine is then a firework of ripe fruit with a hint of honey, ripe apricots, melon and fine notes of meadow herbs, delicate acids and rich in extract; juicy, full of finesse with a great long aftertaste. This wine can be widely used at the table with most fish and seafood dishes, white meat, spicy oriental dishes and with a sweet dessert. 93/100 Parker
The Goldberg vineyards are located on southern slopes with a unique, very warm microclimate. The vines are over 85 years old. The grapes are harvested by hand at the end of October, pressed with the whole bunch after which natural fermentation takes place very slowly in stainless steel tanks. Geyerhof always chooses to release the wines later, partly because their natural fermentation is often slow and the wines therefore do not present themselves so well the year after the harvest.

The 2019 Hollenburg Ried Goldberg 1ÖTW Kremstal Riesling is from a very warm, south-facing vineyard on calcareous conglomerate soils. The intensely golden-yellow 2019 opens with an intense and concentrated, very elegant and balanced aroma of super ripe and stewed stone fruits intertwined with floral aromas such as elderflowers and notes of crushed stones. Full-bodied, crystalline and refined on the palate, this is a dense and juicy-textured, well-structured and persistently mineral and vivacious Riesling with a long and aromatic as well as salty and piquant finish with stimulating and refreshing mineral grip. This is a mouthful of Riesling and more generous compared to the more linear Kirchensteig Riesling from Oberfurcha.

Organic viticulture
Geyerhof is located in Kremstal. Most of Kremstal is on the north side of the Danube, around the town of Krems, but Geyerhof is on the south side, below the famous Göttweig monastery. Ilse Maier grows grapes here on 15 hectares of vineyards with different types of soil, such as loess, sand and gravel. The vineyards take advantage of their optimal location and proximity to the River Danube. The striking temperature differences between day and night reinforce the complexity of these top quality wines. Of course she makes beautiful Grüner Veltliner, but also a friendly Zweigelt and Riesling with unprecedented storage potential (Goldberg). Wines with a very juicy style, with sufficient freshness and fully organic certified.
Organic viticulture is the biggest challenge in Geyerhof's efforts to continuously improve quality. It is often like a tightrope walker without a net. It requires in-depth knowledge, enormous sensitivity and a willingness to take risks. Organic cultivation is more than just deprivation of chemicals. A prerequisite is the knowledge that the laws of nature are unchangeable. Recognizing these laws and living with them has been a matter of course for thousands of years. It is a constant balance between nature and civilization. In practice, this requires meticulous and demanding manual work. A small mistake, a small omission over the course of a wine year can have disastrous consequences. Vines can only thrive on healthy soils in the long term and only then can the terroir really express itself in the wines. The basis for exceptional wines is always the vineyard.
Geyerhof winery has been organically certified by Austria Bio Guarantee since 1988. The know-how gained in the past 25 years in organic wine growing has been achieved with great courage and patience and has been financially costly. However, the result of all efforts is impressive, and that is great wines of more than excellent quality.

Deze goudgele, volle Riesling toont geconcentreerd rijp steenfruit en tropisch fruit naast florale tonen van vlierbloesem, een subtiele honingigheid en een uitgesproken ziltige mineraalzuur die zorgt voor een lange, pittige afdronk. Dankzij die levendige zuren en de zoute mineraliteit snijdt de wijn mooi door de rijkdom van gevogelte en romige schelpdiergerechten, omarmt hij pittige Oosterse smaken zonder te worden overheerst en vormt hij een mooi tegenwicht bij zoete desserts. Serveer hem bij gegrilde of in de oven geroosterde kip met citroen en tijm, bij licht geboterde of in citrus gestoomde kreeft en schelpdieren, of bij pittige wokgerechten met een sojacitrusglazuur; voor desserts werkt een abrikozen- of honingtaart bijzonder goed.
