Bergdistel Riesling Smaragd® 2018

Prof. Adolf Distelberger was the inspiration and godfather for our Bergdistel - a wonderful Riesling Smaragd® from the first ripe grapes of Loibenberg, Steinertal und Kellerberg. The particularity of this Riesling is that the grapes were harvested together and co-fermented. The combination of different climate zones, especially driven from the cooler side valleys Mentalgraben and Flickerthal and of course, of different soil types like Gföhler Gneis, primary rock and gravel determine in a complex and balanced Riesling Smaragd®

You will find aromas of fresh vineyard peach, floral hints and delicate lemon zest in our Bergdistel Riesling. Juicy, vibrant and versatile - this wine makes your mouth watering and gathering for more! Boundless drinking fun is guaranteed!
