While 2001 proved to be marginally disappointing, Martin Nigl is certainly back on form and displaying amazing consistency in 2002. With some parcels," he relates, "we picked a bit early to retain acidity."They still look low in acid on paper, but naturally the proof is on the palate.Not only do these 2002s deliver a lot of sheer refreshment, they are also clear and polished in the archetypal manner of this estate, a model from which many of Nigl's 2001s had deviated.There was damaging hail here this year, significantly diminishing the production of riesling.When it came to gruner veltliner, Nigl opined that the hail merely accomplished the necessary green harvest.
