Some bark for attention. Others, like Alzinger, go for finesse. Their Wachau wine? It has a mineral taste and is precise and nuanced. They seek to make wines that are subtle and special, never to be forgotten. They want our Grüner Veltliners and Rieslings to reflect their origin. In the Wachau. And in its steep terraced slopes – including the choicest vineyards at Dürnstein and Unterloiben.
750 ml Low StockThe south-facing terraces of the Loibenberg store sun throughout the day and are considered the warmest in the Wachau. However, this finding is too short and ignores a lot of factors that also affect our two wines. So between the first terraces on the foot and the last on the top is a good 200 meters in altitude. It's a reflection of its terroir; concentrated yet elegant to equal, complex aroma profile – usually characterized by stone fruit notes; on the palate velvety, juicy and yet gripping and lively.
