James Suckling, 93 Points 

"Stunning for an entry-level wine. Subtle aromas of grapefruit, pomelo and wild herbs are married to a lovely, youthful vitality (in spite of modest acidity) on the well-structured, medium-bodied palate. Fine, chalky minerality powders the long, quite compact finish. A cuvee based on gruner veltliner with some chardonnay and riesling, all grown on limestone soils. Drink or hold." 

Vinous, 90 Points 

"The 2023 Hausmarke Supernatural is a blend of Gruner Veltliner with additions of Chardonnay and a “touch” of Riesling grown on Leitha limestone in Burgenland.  The nose is redolent of hay, yellow buttercup and dandelion.  The palate is cool, bright, fresh and zesty, with a lovely, slightly salty, yeasty savoriness." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"When Moric magically produces a highly seductive crisp and complex blend of mostly Gruner Veltliner and some Chardonnay we are not surprised. Here seemingly simple ingredients and techniques produce wines that are a far cry from stereotypical fruit-forward expressions, wines that touch a nerve. His Hausmarke ("House Wine") comes across as the quintessential understatement: a highly complex and satisfying white, fresh and lively with hard-to-pin-down notes of citrus and fennel, apparently the entry-level wine at the Moric estate. Unfortunately, the annual availability of this wine is always short-lived. This wine ages beautifully and we recommend putting a few bottles away for the long haul."
