Tegernseerhof, under the guidance of fifth-generation winemaker Martin Mittelbach, is renowned for producing precise and expressive wines that capture the essence of the Wachau region. The 'Loibenberg' Riesling Smaragd 2021 exemplifies the estate's commitment to quality and terroir-driven winemaking.
- WINEMAKER: Martin Mittelbach
- FARMING: Practices organic viticulture, focusing on minimal intervention to allow the vineyards' natural characteristics to shine.
- VARIETY: 100% Riesling
- TERROIR: Sourced from the Loibenberg vineyard, one of the warmest sites in the Wachau, characterized by steep, south-facing terraces with gneiss and loess soils. This unique terroir imparts a powerful framework to the wine, balancing ripe fruit flavors with mineral complexity.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are meticulously harvested and sorted to eliminate any botrytis influence, ensuring a focus on purity and tension. Fermentation and aging occur in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and precise character.
- AGING: Aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain vibrancy and highlight the wine's mineral-driven profile.
- TASTING NOTES: Pale greenish-yellow hue with silver glints. Delicate aromas of yellow fruit, peach, and pineapple, complemented by hints of tangerine zest and blossom honey. On the palate, juicy and tightly woven white stone fruit flavors are supported by a richly finessed acidity and a touch of salty-lime. Already accessible, with assured aging potential.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs elegantly with seafood dishes, particularly those featuring shellfish or fatty fish, as well as Asian cuisine and roasted poultry.
- SCORES: 97 points – noted as the top wine ever from Tegernseerhof.
