WINE DESCRIPTION
Alzinger Smaragd Liebenberg Riesling is a premium white wine produced by Alzinger, a renowned winery in the Wachau region of Austria. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the Liebenberg vineyard, which is known for its steep terraces and rocky soils that impart unique mineral flavors to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the natural flavors and aromas of the grapes. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Riesling, with notes of citrus, stone fruit, and minerality, and a long, refreshing finish. It is a perfect match for seafood, spicy dishes, and creamy cheeses.
