Tim Adams Aberfeldy Shiraz 2010 has been reviewed on other tasting dates:
691.A full 60 percent of German wine exported is liebraumilch, which is a sweet, crisp, low alcohol, pretty average white wine. Blue Nun and Black Tower are two major brands of liebraumilch. 692.A few German producers have taken the road less traveled and decided to produce organic wine. Look for these names: Eymann, Schloss Wallhasen, and Sander. 693.Estates in Germany following biodynamic grapegrowing methods include Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim, Hahnmlle, and Wittmann. 694.All of the years from 2001 to 2004 have been good vintages for German wine. 695.2003 was a particularly great year for German Rieslings, but relatively little wine was made. If you find it, and its made by a reputable producer, buy it. German Wine 181 696.Austria makes very good dry white wine, particularly from Grner Veltliner, Pinot Blanc, and Riesling grapes. 697.Grner Veltliner is usually bone dry, very crisp, and tastes of fresh lime. Its Austrias flagship grape variety and one of my favorite summer refreshers. 698.Weingut Brundlemayer is an excellent producer from the Kamptal region. Its Riesling Heiligenstein Alte Reben 2002 is outstanding. Restrained nose of soft lime. On the palate: minerals and lime, oranges and lemon, cashews and almonds. Deliberate and rich.
