Wine Description

Whereas conventional Wachau Rieslings can be high in alcohol and hard to digest, this handpicked, unfiltered, unfined and unracked wine gives proof of alternative taste horizons. It embodies vibrant acidity and multilayered fruit combined with depth and a long aftertaste. Never ceases to amaze you!
