WINE DESCRIPTION
Weingut Jäger Riesling Federspiel Ried Steinriegl is a standout wine from the prestigious Wachau region, crafted from the unique Steinriegl vineyard. Located on the western side of Weißenkirchen, this vineyard benefits from a south to southwest exposure, ensuring optimal sun and cool nights due to the nearby forest. The terroir is distinguished by its rare calc-silicate marble and paragneiss soils, imparting a distinct minerality to the wine. Hand-harvested in mid-October, this Riesling is vinified in stainless steel, resulting in a highly mineral, taut, and elegant wine with delicate fruit aromas. Ideal for aging, it becomes increasingly complex over time.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Weingut Jäger Riesling Federspiel Ried Steinriegl opens with vibrant aromas of pineapple, lemon zest, and delicate spring blossoms. On the palate, it delivers a crisp, mineral-driven character with flavors of white peach, green apple, and a subtle hint of flint.The wine’s lively acidity and taut structure create a refreshing, elegant finish. This Riesling pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, Asian cuisine, or light salads. While delightful in its youth, it will continue to develop complexity with 12-16 years of cellaring, revealing deeper layers of minerality and nuanced flavors.
