Alzinger Steinertal Riesling 2017

The 2017 Ried Steinertal Riesling Smaragd from Alzinger exudes a cool, fresh, and sharp quality on the nose, marked by a crunchy, spicy aroma intertwined with white fruit notes. On the palate, it unfolds as lush and intense, embodying a rich, full-bodied texture with a firm, mineral backbone and utmost elegance. This Steinertal Riesling reveals green, crisp fruit flavors leading to a salty-piquant and invigorating finish. True to form, the Steinertal demands patience to fully reveal its complexity, especially when compared to the more immediately accessible Loibenberg.
