WINE DESCRIPTION

Alzinger Smaragd Mühlpoint Grüner Veltliner is a premium white wine produced by Alzinger, a renowned winery in the Wachau region of Austria. The wine is made from Grüner Veltliner grapes grown in the Mühlpoint 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 best grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and fruitiness. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Grüner Veltliner, with notes of citrus, white peach, and herbs, balanced by a crisp acidity and a long, mineral finish. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and spicy dishes.
