Description

Product description for Martin Muthenthaler Riesling Vießlinger Stern 2017

Colour

A radiant gold with subtle silvery reflections, the wine appears clear and brilliant in the glass.

Nose

As with so many of Martin Muthenthaler’s wines, this one also requires a carafe, air, and patience to do it justice. Initially, this Riesling descends through citrus groves of various kinds. The juice and zest of grapefruit and the flesh of honey pomelo shine, as do the freshness of kaffir lime leaves and the ethereal depth of bergamot. Physalis and yellow apple modestly join in. Herbal aromas of nasturtium, lemon balm, and dried ginger also succumb to the dizziness, keeping the nose glued to the glass.

Palate

The 2017 Riesling Vießlinger Stern from Martin Muthenthaler makes a simple yet undeniable statement on the palate, one that reads almost exactly as this sentence begins: Vießlinger Stern from Martin Muthenthaler! This is (through the medium of the vine, in this case Riesling) a purist documentation of its origins and the yearly course of its winemaking in the unmistakable signature of the winemaker who accompanied these grapes on their journey to discover their destiny. In other words: Yellow-fleshed wallpaper lines the throat and dries stony, while subtle phenolics, along with crystalline acidity, imbue this Riesling with freshness. Clear. Long. Big. The finish is passion.

Wine Advocate

Score: 95

From mica schist and vinified in acacia barrels, the 2017 Riesling Viesslinger Stern opens with a deep, clear and coolish, very intense but delicate and floral bouquet with crystalline flint- stone notes and white peach aromas. On the palate, this is a very elegant and perfectly mineral Riesling that is an amazing amalgam of crushed rocks and ripe and lush stone fruits. Everything is interwoven here, and the finish is as long and intense as it is tensioned and refreshing. Martin Muthenthaler’s 2017 Stern is a classic in the making and one of the very finest Rieslings I have tasted in Austria this year (September 2019).
