"A smoky and very minerally wine with aromas, of stone, wax, chalk and lime peel. Austere on the nose as well as on the palate, with tight, tingling balsamic character and zesty acidity. Long, appley finish. Drink now."

"The Köfererhof 2023 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Riesling R is an extremely elegant and finessed expression of the grape, with mild intensity but plenty of complexity. It comes in the form of dried mountain flower, crushed gravel, petroleum jelly and star anise. There is a moment of sweet apple too. This release of 14,000 bottles is made in stainless steel only from old-vine fruit from a one-hectare plot at an icy 650 meters in elevation."

"The 2023 Riesling R wafts up with nuances of lemon oil and sweet sage complementing freshly sliced pears. It reverberates with tension throughout; vibrant acidity motivates its ripe orchard fruits, while a saturation of salty minerals adds form toward the close. The 2023 leaves the palate completely refreshed, tapering off long with a sour citrus tinge that puckers the cheeks."

"The 2022 Riesling R is sweetly alluring yet delicate, as green melon and candied lime are accentuated by minty herbs. It's texturally deep and rich with an oily feel offset by brisk acidity and sour citrus tones as ripe orchard fruits settle on the senses. The 2022 tapers off harmoniously, with a mineral tang and a crunchy sensation, youthfully tense and begging for the cellar."

"A complex and deep wine. The nose is focused on white peaches and orange blossoms with bright intensity. Soft attack with tingling acidity, a light to medium body and a finish that's quite biting. Drink now."
