RIESLING SMARAGD® DAC “RIED ACHLEITEN”

This is a complex Riesling, with a manifold play of aromas - pure finesse.
A typical wine from the Achleiten vineyard- has a flinty touch. Its creaminess comes from the weathered soil and it has a pure and elegant maturity.It impresses the drinker with its distinctive fragrance of apricots.
The wine is playful and charming – a real experience.

The grapes were harvested by hand at the beginning of November.

Soil type: The sand made out of Gföhler Gneis is a good foundation for the vines. Over the centuries the earth was constantly washed down by rain, and carried up again by hand. The river-sand increased the mineral content of the earth and this special characteristic of the soil improves the wine and shows itself in the diverse array of aromas.

Wine production: The grapes are crushed and left to ferment in steeltanks. The wine is filtered after six months and bottled in April.

Elegant with a fine fruity bloom
