Alzinger Riesling Loibenberg Smaragd 2023

From a single parcel on the Loibenberg, steep, sun-drenched through the morning and shaded by afternoon, which gives this bone-dry Smaragd its characteristic push-and-pull of warmth and cool restraint. Passion fruit foliage and a faint yeasty lift on the nose, then the wine snaps into focus on the palate: lean, citric, wound tight, with a stony undercurrent that keeps everything in check. This is Alzinger's house style distilled, stripped back, precise, and longer than it first appears.
