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.
