Note di degustazione
From Krems-Stein in the Kremstal DAC and thus not marketed as Smaragd (and not even under the Kremstal appellation, which seems to be the unwritten paragraph in the "Codex Wachau" of the Vinea Wachau group), the 2016 Ried Steiner Hund Riesling offers a clear, intense and savory nose of ripe (and overripe) fruits intermingled with crystalline salinity. On the palate, this is a tight, tart, firm and structured yet also intense and densely textured, very elegant and persistent Riesling with structuring tannins and a clear and defined finish with floral notes. This is impressive in its complexity, vitality and mineral drive. A gorgeous wine! 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Archive Release 2024. Tasted in January 2025.

Where do you start to explain this truly amazing dry riesling that doesn't have anything to do with the regular world of wine? Extraordinarily delicate and complex nose that's so far removed from the normal world that a few regular adjectives say nothing about it. But, yes, this is sleek, very dry and mineral on the palate. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
