Riesling - 2001 - Jost Höpler
Ref: A097501
Light yellow, elegant nose, charming bouquet with hints of peach and lemon. Soft crisp Riesling fruit on the palate and refined harmony of fruit and acid. Riesling derives its destinctive character from the vineyard soils.
Planted in slate-prime rock type soils. The slopes are south east facing which look onto Lake Neusiedlersee. The vines benefit from the mirror effect created by the lake which allows the grapes to ripen earlier and more evenly.

The Hopler winery is located in Winden on the western banks of lake Neusiedl, in the Austrian province of Burgenland. They have 14 hectares of cultivated vineyards face south east between the 'Leithagebirge' hills and lake Neusiedl. This creates a microclimate in which grapes of the highest quality flourish. In addition the contrasting soils of chalk, gravel and sand are rich in calcium as well as in slate and contribute to the unique complexity and character of the wines. Wines mature in either stainless steel tanks or large oak vats. Some red wines and a small quantity of white wines mature in French oak barrels.
