NC- 2022 Steinschaden "Ried Stein" Grüner Veltliner

Steinschaden's wines are highly regarded in both domestic and international markets, frequently earning accolades for their quality and value. Their commitment to showcasing the best of Austrian wine culture makes them a favorite among wine enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Harvesting is done entirely by hand in small cases to ensure the highest quality fruit. The winery uses traditional fermentation methods in small tanks, preserving the elegant characteristics of their vineyards. Their historic subterranean cellar provides optimal conditions for aging, with large neutral Slavonian oak vats used to prevent the wood from dominating the wine's profile. Among their holdings is the Ried Stein vineyard, one of only 52 "Erste Lage" vineyards in Austria, recognized for its exceptional terroir. The winery also boasts the oldest traditional basket press in this part of Europe, dating back to 1564 A.D., reflecting their deep-rooted heritage in winemaking.

"Stunning crystalline lemon, mouth-watering yellow pear and peach aromas perfectly befit this bewitching, focused wonder. With a flawless pure mineral character, the acidity shines and pervades the opulent structure and soars towards the endless finish line."
