Riesling Ried Seeberg Erste Lage 1 ÖTW Kamptal DAC 2021

Ried Seeberg, located north of Langenlois, is a south- to southwest-facing terraced site at 220–300 meters elevation. The topsoil consists of calcareous-free rocky brown earths, underlain by silvery mica schist and amphibolite, which lend the wines their characteristic minerality and fine structure. The name Seeberg, historically recorded as “See Berg,” refers to a hill with a small pond; originally, the vineyards were concentrated along the ridge and in the eastern part of the site.

Pale yellow-green with silvery reflections, showing delicate aromas of white stone fruit, lime, a touch of guava, and fresh herbs. On the palate clear and lively, with citrus-driven minerality, a hint of peach, and a saline finish. Precise and elegant, with great tension.

A harmonious match for aromatic, mildly spicy dishes, especially from Asian or Indian cuisine. Its subtle sweetness provides balance and also pairs well with sweet-and-sour dishes.
