After wrestling in 2014 with botrytis, underripeness, and awkward conversion of high malic acid, it’s safe to assume that Sepp Mantler was greatly relieved by conditions in 2015. My disappointment with Mantler’s ostensibly top 2014s was not alleviated by having re-tasted most of them on my most recent (June 2016) visit. But the Mantlerhof 2015s are a very different matter, and I only regret that I wasn’t able to taste those among them that originate in “Erste Lage” vineyards and were only slated for late summer 2016 bottling. (Sepp Mantler was quite ill at the time of my last visit, and organizing samples from tank was understandably not high on his wife’s agenda.) Margit Mantler reported the good news that some Chardonnay was ripped out in 2016 to make room for more Roter Veltliner, a highly distinctive, traditional Austrian cépage with too few contemporary devotees, some of whom farm only minuscule acreage. (For details concerning this estate’s vineyards, practices and recent history, readers are invited to consult the extended introduction to my report on its 2013s.)
