Wine Description
Delicate stone fruit aromas being typical for Austrian Riesling compared with the unique smoky Nussberg-aroma almost reminding of cinnamon and orange zest- contribute to the originality of this wine. A very tight structure with great tension followed by a salty finish let this wine appear incredibly elegant.
