Wine Description:
Alzinger Dürnstein Grüner Veltliner Federspiel is a captivating Austrian white wine produced by the esteemed Alzinger winery. Hailing from the renowned Wachau region and specifically from the vineyards in the Donau loop of Loiben and Dürnstein, this Grüner Veltliner showcases a distinctive character. The terroir, characterized by sandy and gravelly soils along the Danube, imparts unique qualities to the grapes. The upper soil layer comprises finely sorted sands, suggesting a slow deposition, while the underlying gravel points to a rapid deposition. The high degree of rounding in the pebbles indicates a lengthy transport from the Alps. This Grüner Veltliner is celebrated for its inviting and fruity nature, often expressing notes of yellow apple and subtle herbal aromas. Its delicate and intricate texture leads to an invigorating and juicy finish, making it a delightful and well-balanced wine that epitomizes the terroir of the Wachau region.

Gemischter Satz is a unique white wine that blends at least three different grape varieties from the same vineyard, where they are not only planted together but also harvested and fermented together. This traditional method harmoniously combines the strengths of each grape variety. Originating from Vienna but with a broader historical tradition, it was born from the practicality of having a single vineyard. Planting various grape varieties enhances vineyard resilience against adverse weather and pests, ensuring stable yields. This diversity enriches the wine with complexity, contributing acidity for freshness and a nuanced flavor profile that reflects the vineyard's terroir and heritage.
