Salomon-Undhof Riesling Kögl 2022

Salomon Undhof is a centuries-old winery in Krems, Austria overlooking the Danube River. Today 7th and 8th generation winemakers Bert and Bert Salomon run the estate, and they’re among the best respected sources in the region. They’ve become favorites of many readers (as well as our own family) and we’re delighted to bring them back by popular demand.

In Riesling, Salmon has two cuvées that are both stunners this year. Our favorite, the Riesling 1ÖTW Kögl from 2022 is gorgeous – classical dry Riesling with a nose of petrol, slate, stones, and mandarin orange. The mouth is bone dry, with terrific persistence and acidity to keep it fresh for years to come. The 70+ year old vines give this remarkable depth, all packed into a delicious, electric, vibrant wine. Vinous’s reviewer awarded 94 points, writing: “The palate flows with immense juicines…Zestiness frames the edges and makes the mouth water, growing more intense toward the dry finish. Despite its juiciness, there is a stony core and a lastingly pure, pristine citrus aroma.”
