WINE DESCRIPTION
Alzinger Smaragd Ried Steinertal Riesling is a premium wine produced by Alzinger, a renowned winery in Austria. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the Steinertal vineyard, which is known for its steep slopes 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 the terroir, with notes of citrus, stone fruit, and minerality. It is a perfect example of the Smaragd style, which is characterized by full-bodied, rich, and age-worthy wines.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Ried Steinertal Riesling from Alzinger is a beautiful expression of the variety.On the nose, aromas of ripe stone fruit, white flowers and lemon zest mingle with subtle hints of spice and a touch of minerality. On the palate, it is bright and juicy, with a vibrant acidity that carries the flavors of citrus fruits, white peaches, and a hint of saline minerality. The finish is refreshing and long, making this a truly delightful wine.
