Alzinger 'Loibenberg' Smaragd Riesling, Wachau
Winemaker: Leo Alzinger
Farming: Sustainable
Variety: Riesling (Samragd ripeness level)
Terroir: The south-facing terraces of the Loibenberg store sun all day long and are considered the warmest in the Wachau. Between the first terraces at the foot of the slope and the last ones on the summit there are a good 200 meters in altitude. In addition, many vineyards are located in the shade of protective forests. In addition, ditches open to the north, the air of which allows the climate to cool down noticeably, especially at night. The Riesling is rooted in barren and shallow soils that promote a tighter style. Barren primary rock with shallow soils
Vinification: Spontaneously fermented in stainless steel.
Aging: Elevage in steel with a small amount of neutral Austrian oak.
Tasting Notes: Reflection of its terroir; concentrated and yet elegant at the same time; complex aroma profile – mostly with tropical nuances; velvety, juicy on the palate, yet gripping and lively.
Scores: 96 Points, James Suckling
