Riesling Ried Kogelberg Erste Lage 1 ÖTW Kamptal DAC Reserve 2024

The Zöbinger Kogelberg is an outlier of the Waldviertel high plateau, forming a broad north-south ridge marked by the Friedenskreuz and its descent toward the village of Zöbing to the southeast. The south-facing slope is terraced, where the pronounced temperature differences between intense daytime sunshine and the cool Waldviertel nights enhance the fine fruit expression of the wines. Geologically, the site is shaped by primary rock, mica schist, and amphibolite, creating meager, well-drained soils that impart a distinctive minerality to the wines.

Delicate and multi-layered on the nose, with white blossoms, ripe apricot, and greengage, complemented by subtle spicy minerality. On the palate powerful and juicy, with a dense structure and plenty of substance, supported by lively, precise acidity. An expressive Riesling with beautiful balance and a long finish.

A versatile companion to aromatic Asian and Indian cuisine, especially delicately spiced curries. Also pairs beautifully with pan-seared fish, flavourful vegetable dishes, or dishes with sweet-and-sour elements.
