NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This wine is a remarkable example of a Grüner Veltliner from the prestigious Loibenberg vineyard in Austria.On the nose, this wine offers enticing aromas of ripe stone fruits such as peach and apricot, accompanied by hints of citrus and white flowers. There is also a subtle spiciness that adds complexity to the bouquet. The palate is equally impressive, with a rich and full-bodied texture that is balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavors of juicy pear, green apple, and lemon zest dominate, while a touch of minerality adds depth and elegance. The Alzinger Smaragd Loibenberg Grüner Veltliner is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has great aging potential. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including seafood, poultry, and vegetarian cuisine.
