"The 2024 Abbazia di Novacella Riesling is racy, luminous wine with enticing aromas of citrus blossom, yellow stone fruit, Alpine herb and grapefruit. The grapefruit note follows over from the palate and joins yellow peach, orange zest and sage underpinned with pronounced salinity. Crisp acidity keeps it energized and lends fantastic tension. Drink through 2028. Abv: 13% Kerin O'Keefe August 2025"

"Wonderfully lifted and airy in style, the 2024 Riesling mixes stone dust with shavings of lemon and hints of pine resin to form its alluring bouquet. It is clean and crisp with notable minerality and tantalizing acidity complementing its white pit fruits. A citrusy concentration lingers on as the mouth waters for more and nuances of mint fade."

"Aromas of lychee, honeydew melon and citrus blossom form the fragrant nose also sage. Rounded, enveloping and savory, the smooth palate features ripe white peach, cantaloupe and orange drop before a saline close."

"This strikes a lovely balance between herbs and just-ripe citrus and stone fruit. It,s medium-bodied with sleek layers of lime zest, green apples, hints of white pepper, thyme and apricot stones, persisting on a long and clean finish. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Riesling opens with a burst of lemon zest, minty herbs and sour green melon. This soft textured effort with ripe citrus and zesty acidity creates a sense of boundless energy within. It finishes long and staining with a pleasantly tart tension and sour lime notes that slowly taper off. This no-frills Riesling is a total pleasure to taste."
