"The 2018 Lagrein Turmhof from Tiefenbrunner is dark, feral and even a bit rustic, but in the best possible way. It's as if you can smell the earth which these vines grow in. It leaps from the glass with a mix of dark, mineral-laden soil, crushed black cherry, brown spice and hints of violets. Velvety smooth from start to finish, there doesn't seem to be a single thing out of place here, hosting red and blue fruits with sweet inner florals and a core of minerality. Fine tannins clench the palate throughout the final, balanced by residual acids, and with a lasting note of tart wild berries. The Turmhof spends eight months in a mix of both small and large neutral oak, which does wonders to create an elegant expression." Vinous

It shows remarkable depth in its fleshy textures, along with pure red berry fruit and sweet spice, all offset by a mix of minerals and youthful tannin. Rosy florals resonate, as residual acids create a clenching sensation on the long and lip-smacking finale." Vinous

"A very fruity style of pinot nero with tons of dried violets, nutmeg, citrus and dried spices. There’s some gravitas to the polished tannins, though, and the vibrant, exuberant fruit is very impressive. Excellent pinot to drink now." James Suckling

"The 2018 Müller-Thurgau Feldmarschall von Fenner from Tiefenbrunner is luminous gold in color with green hues in the glass. Its bouquet is stunning and perfumed with lime citrus-infused yellow flowers, white smoke minerality, wild herbs, green apple and savory exotic spice. There’s a richness to its depths of textural white orchard fruits, perfectly offset by stimulating acidity and a cooling hint of mint leaf, as inner florals amass toward the close. Wow, there’s so much going on here, and yet this is still so youthfully poised. I can imagine that a few years in the cellar will really bring the Feldmarschall to life." Vinous

"Delicate aromas of lime, nutmeg and camomile. Rich and complex yet fresh and vibrant with floral green fruit and long plummy graceful finish; will develop further." Decanter

"Cool and tart, clearly planty nose with slightly violent and floral notes, green and yellow fruity hints, some asparagus as well as quite clear, earthy minerality and red berry nuances. Mature, firmly knitted, tangy, juicy fruit, fine, lively acidity and clear, light earthy and salty minerality, very fine tannin grip, good substance and depth, dense and persistent, multi-layered, still very young looking, in the background nutty and delicate vanilla hints of wood, vegetable aromas reminiscent of artichokes and asparagus, very good, firm, somewhat warm finish."Markus Hofschuster

"Sparkling bright straw yellow with green notes. The nose shows attractive notes of gooseberry, capers and sage. On the palate full-bodied and dense, opens with a lot of present fruit, describes a wide arch, long aftertaste." Falstaff

"Bright golden-tinged straw. Fresh aromas of gunflint and licorice complement notes of yellow melon and green fig. Bright, fresh and juicy, with very clean and precise flavors similar to the aromas. Closes long, very clean and bright. A beautiful, classically dry and very perfumed Sauvignon Blanc Riserva. The Rachtl is a small vineyard (0.4 hectares) in the southern Isarco Valley that gives a very mineral wine unlike any other made on the property." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"Very typical sauvignon character of limes, celery and fennel on the nose and palate. Full-bodied, layered and very flavorful. Shows tension and focus."  James Suckling

"The 2015 Alto Adige Sauvignon Blanc Rachtl is a mid-weight wine that could be considered full-bodied on the Sauvignon Blanc spectrum. The tangy, semi-aromatic variety rarely shows more richness and body than you get here. The wine opens to a pale gold appearance with fragrant aromas of stone fruit, candied peach, saffron, wild sage and lemon curd. This is a wonderful expression that makes a lasting and elegant impression on all the senses. Smoke, licorice and flint appear as delicate background notes. Only 2,200 bottles were made." Robert Parker

"Whoa. This wine is absolutely explosive in terms of its varietal purity and intensity. The typical notes of green apple, citrus and stone fruit will prove gorgeous to any extreme Sauvignon Blanc enthusiast. A case of 2016 Alto Adige Sauvignon Blanc Rachtl would make me plan a party where the outdoor table is overflowing with raw razor clams and wasabi, oysters on the half shell and a huge entrée of clams casino. Sadly, only 2,200 bottles were produced." Robert Parker
