The Feiler's 2006 Ruster Ausbruch Chardonnay Essenz saturates the palate with honey and apple jelly which are shot through with quickening citricity and tinged with salt, caramel, and brown spices. This succulent, creamy concentrate with its mere 6.5% alcohol lifts and soars in a finish of sorbet-like refreshment and ethereally honeyed high tones. Somehow, 382 grams of residual sugar are simply irrelevant to the taste. (And, yes, this has high acidity, but not significantly more than the corresponding Pinot Cuvee, with its pronounced sweetness and 120 fewer grams of sugar!) Like most of the best wines in this genre, there is no reason to resist drinking this now. By the same token - and taking into consideration a gradual dominance of caramel - one could follow it for up to two decades. Feiler-Artinger's dry whites have generally not especially impressed me, but that is changing.Importer: Winemonger, Los Angeles, CA; www.winemonger.com

The 2006 Ruster Ausbruch Essenz is a classic blend for Feiler-Artinger and Burgenland of Welschriesling and Chardonnay. At only 5.5% alcohol and 429 grams residual sugar, it is one of those elixirs that literally (and legally) stretch the definition of -wine.- Candied pineapple in apple syrup, honey, and butterscotch inform a slick, oily, viscous palate. Suggestions of citrus emerge but remain rather unengaged with a slow-flowing, overridingly sweet, strikingly pure and smooth essence of honeyed and caramelized fruit. Scents of white raisin rise from the empty glass. This is a wine to re-visit in a decade, and then perhaps again in two.Feiler-Artinger's dry whites have generally not especially impressed me, but that is changing.Importer: Winemonger, Los Angeles, CA; www.winemonger.com

Unctuous, rich and ripe, with concentrated glazed white fruit flavors that are joined by luscious notes of butter, cream, honey and exotic spice. There's a long finish of mango and tropical fruits, with hints of sea salt. Chardonnay and Welschriesling. Drink now through 2020. 140 cases made.??–KM??Region: Austria / Burgenland Select to Add
