The vineyard is south-facing and very well exposed. This helps develop the grapes that, after maturation in traditional double-foudre casks from local forest of Manhartsberg, result in a wine with power and elegance.
Vintage 2023
VINOUS - Antonio Galloni 05/25: 94 points
Picked at the foot of the Heiligenstein, grown on a mix of loess and sand debris. This golden wine retains a vestige of reduction that soon gives way to gentle savor, uniting white pepper, a touch of miso and crushed sage. Juiciness sweeps up these salty elements, landing on white miso spiciness and surrounding it with ripe, juicy yellow pear flavors. An edge of zestiness keeps the saltiness ever present, running like a thread through this wine, which could be just a tad longer. Drinking window 2028-2043 (A. Krebiehl, MW)
JAMES SUCKLING 09/25: 94 points
Fragrant nectarine, chamomile, honey and herb aromas follow through to a creamy, full-bodied palate. Delicious salty and savory undertones complement the yellow fruit, carrying through to a long and richly flavorful finish. Drink now or hold.

VINOUS - Antonio Galloni 06/24: 95 points
A touch of honey on the nose insinuates itself on a creamy nose. More air adds gentle spice, almost like anise. The palate takes the same spice and creaminess and unites them in pear juiciness. The texture and savor make the wine. The body is rounded but has a fresh, zesty contour. It is gentle and smooth but really fresh with a long chamomile-like savor. (Bone-dry) - Anne Krebiehl MW
JAMES SUCKLING 10/24: 95 points
With its dried papaya notes and leesy, spicy complexity, this Ried Lamm makes a bold statement. Rich on the front of the full-bodied palate. The textural complexity builds in the long finish, which has plenty of candied pineapple freshness, salty minerality and savory character. (Stuart Pigott)
Vintage 2021
FALSTAFF Ultimate Wine Guide 24/25: 97 points
Bright golden yellow, silver reflections. Ripe pineapple and honeydew melon in the backround with subtle savouriness, hints of apple, bergamot. Good complexity, extractive sweetness, mineral, well-integrated acidity, mango on the finish, orange touch in the aftertaste, complex food companion, will benefit from bottle aging.
Tasted by Andreas Larsson: 95 points
Bright straw colour with a light golden hue. Pure and layered with crushed stone, flint, ripe citrus, lemongrass, yellow fruit with some peppery and herbal spiciness. The palate has extraordinary weight and freshness with a fine backbone of extract, layers of unctuous stone fruit, plenty of fine spice - ginger, pepper, cardamom and mint with a very long and powerful finish. Tremendously pure and deep.
Jancis Robinson: 17+ points
Ripe yellow fruit, pear, apple jelly and quince. A distancing austerity emerges on the supple palate, contrary to the expressive nose. Some pear peel, clove and dark, wet stone. There is an oily/minerality with appealing bitterness – much taking place beneath the surface on this one. Wait. (Paula Sidore)
Vintage 2020
FALSTAFF Ultimate Wine Guide 24/25: 95 points
The Wine Advocate - R. Parker 09/22: 93+ points
Intensely yellow-colored it opens with an intense and elegant, refined bouquet of ripe and concentrated fruits intermingled with spicy iodine notes of crystalline rocks. On the palate, this is a dense and very elegant Grüner Veltliner with fine and crystalline acidity and a long elegant finish. The Lamm has more flesh and texture than the Grub as well as more suppleness and power, but it's also more saturating in 2020. Definitely a wine to age, though. (S.Reinhardt)
JAMES SUCKLING - Weekly Report: 94 points
Deep nose of ripe mirabelle with just a whiff of white pepper. Less expansive on the palate than the bouquet suggests, but everything fits together so beautifully. Long, refined finish with a ton of candied-citrus character. Drink or hold.
JANCIS ROBINSON - Austrias Top Gruners: 17 points
Dark and spicy with ripe yellow-fruit aromas, and a green, herbal undercurrent. Driven, creamy palate marked with apple and quince; more spice. A playful, persistent and welcome acidity cuts through the concentrated opulence to carry it into an elegant, lingering finish.(Paula Sidore)
Vintage 2019
ROBERT PARKER - The Wine Advocate: 96 points
The intensely yellow-colored 2019 Kammern Ried Lamm 1ÖTW was vinified in new 50-hectoliter oak vats and aged on the fine lees for 18 months. The nose is clearly influenced by its crystalline subsoils and delivers a coolish-mineral, flinty tone next to the perfectly ripe, elegant and finely concentrated white fruit that is discreet and refined like green tea. On the palate, this is a rich, piquant, very elegant, highly refined and persistently salty Veltliner that develops an enormously long and complex, finely tannic and sustainably structured finish. This is a great, very promising wine that assembles everything in the starting block to go a long distance. 13.5% alcohol. Tasted at Schloss Gobelsburg in June 2021.
JAMES SUCKLING - Austrian Report Vintage 2019: 96 points
It’s not often that a young Austrian gruner veltliner reminds you of Burgundy, though mature examples often do. The ripe-mirabelle, candied-pineapple and dried-herb aromas are married to a palate that’s rich and creamy. But beneath the waterline this is also a highly structured wine. Rather imposing finish, suggesting excellent aging potential.
