Riesling Klosterneuburg Wagram DAC

RIESLING KLOSTERNEUBURG WAGRAM DAC 2023

Wine-description:
This wine has a pale greenish-yellow color and a seductive aroma of apricot confit and vineyard peach, accompanied by ripe citrus zest. On the palate, citrus fruit aromas unfold with an invigorating acidity structure. The finish again reveals white-fleshed stone fruit with a fine minerality. A long-lasting taste experience that underlines the complexity of this wine. A wine that delights with its freshness and elegance.

On the variety and origins of this wine:
The Riesling, a top international variety assumed to have originated in Germany, produces outstanding quality in Klosterneuburg. Here, the variety grows in warm, rocky, residual sandstone soil (flysch). Flysch influences the grapes’ maturity and aroma development and makes for a very characteristic Riesling.
