Color
In shining gold with discreet white-golden reflexes the wine shows itself clearly and brilliantly in the glass.
Nose
As with so many of Martin Muthethaler's wines, this one also needs a carafe, air and patience to do it justice. What initially reveals "only" the beguiling fragrant lightness of lime zest, green apple peel and lemon balm, turns and transforms over time to fan its rich facets. Alongside yellow-fleshed fruit of Galia melon, orange and a blob of peach yogurt, ethereal aromas of sea buckthorn and coriander greens, as well as raw pumpkin flesh and propolis, reveal themselves.
Palate
On the palate, the 2017 Riesling Ried Bruck from Muthenthaler focuses on accurate straightness paired with juicy, mouthwatering length. Take a breath and pull it through is its motto. Taut and with an acidity that is unstoppable once it gets going, this wine is fruit-laden but not opulent thanks to its fine-boned body.
Here the entire hall, including the rest of the large philharmonic orchestra, pauses in anticipation when this soprano begins her solo.
