"The 2021 Feldmarschall Von Fenner opens with a minty freshness as savory herbs and flinty stone give way to yellow apples and cardamon. Expertly balanced, this soothes with its supple textures, ripe orchard fruits and salty mineral tones mixed with hints of lime and sour melon to display contrasts. The 2021 tapers off with staining length and crisp. Lime and nectarine notes linger on and on and on. This is simply stunning today with the balance for a lovely evolution." Vinous

"The Tiefenbrunner 2019 Alto Adige Sauvignon Blanc Riserva Rachtl reveals mid–weight intensity with orange zest, almond paste, honey and hints of spicy saffron. The wine glides smoothly over the palate with plush richness that is capped off by fresh acidity. This is a bigger style of Sauvignon Blanc, with some modest age on it, that opens the door to a wide range of pairing, such as scallops in butter sauce or stuffed clams. Winemaking sees a combination of tonneaux and stainless steel, and only 2,000 bottles were released." Wine Advocate

The exposed location of the estate on the Fennberg at around 1,000 m above sea level, with late autumn morning dew and high humidity, provides the ideal conditions for the development of noble rot (botrytis cinerea), which naturally leads to an additional concentration of grape sugar. The raisin-like dried grapes are harvested from mid to late December. After gentle pressing of the grapes, alcoholic fermentation takes place in small steel tanks, where the young wine rests on the fine yeast for around six months. The bottled wine matures in the cellar for another five years.

This Müller-Thurgau is a full-bodied late harvest (vendemmia tardiva) with considerable depth. It is dense and persistent and surprises with a buoyant freshness. The balanced interplay between minerality and strong body gives the wine its lightness and grants it good ageing potential. Notes of honey and lime in the finish make you want to take the next sip. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense straw yellow with golden reflections. Candied fruit, orange, peach and wildflower honey. Juicy and elegant, straightforward with an excellent, refreshing acidity, long, smooth and inviting finish." Falstaff

"The 2016 Alto Adige Müller Thurgau Feldmarschall Von Fenner Vendemmia Tardiva shows dried flower, daisy and wild grass on the bouquet. Fruit is harvested from an outstanding 1,000 meters above sea level, and the alcohol content is contained at 9.5%. With time, the aromas revert to honey, spicy saffron, crushed stone, dry tea leaf and a dusting of cinnamon. In fact, this unusual wine finishes on an almost dry note." Wine Advocate
