- WINEMAKER: Franz Hirtzberger
- FARMING: Sustainable viticulture practices
- VARIETY: 100% Riesling
- TERROIR: The grapes for this wine are sourced from the steep, terraced vineyards of the Wachau, known as "Steinterrassen," which are composed of primary rock soils. These terraces, dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, contribute to the wine's distinctive minerality and character.
- VINIFICATION: Traditional fermentation techniques are employed to preserve the purity and expression of the Riesling grape, followed by maturation in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness and vibrancy.
- AGING: Aged on fine lees for several months to enhance texture and complexity before bottling.
- TASTING NOTES: Bright yellow-green in color with silver reflections. The nose offers fresh nuances of white vine peach, subtle honey blossom, and lime zest. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with white tropical fruit flavors, fresh acidity, and a mineral-driven finish, complemented by a lemony note.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: This versatile wine pairs well with seafood dishes, light poultry, and Asian cuisine, as well as fresh salads and goat cheese.
-
SCORES:
- 92 points – Falstaff: "Light golden yellow, green reflections. White stone fruit underpinned with fine citrus notes, a touch of blossom honey, a touch of fresh pineapple. Inviting bouquet, fresh acidity, mineral, a touch of peach on the finish, bergamot on the aftertaste, versatile."
