Terrassen wines are blends from vineyards across the lower slopes of the Wachau hills: the easy-drinking side of the region. This fresh, floral, crisply acidic Riesling exhibits the style well, with its tight texture over fragrant green fruits. There’s delicious acidity to finish. Screwcap.——R.V.(7/1/2009)—— 88

Terrassen simply means “vineyards on the slopes.” It is beautifully crisp, very mineral and almost austere. It is flavored with white currants and has a strong structure.——R.V.(5/1/2008)—— 92
