A subtle and mineral "Riesling" grape wine from the prestigious Wachau region in Austria. "Federspiel" is a wine category that stands out for its gentler, fruitier, and refined taste.
The wine has aromas of lime, unripe apples, melon, carambola, and white cherries. Mineral and gentle acidity are also revealed. It is an excellent choice for wine lovers who appreciate freshness, fruitiness, and balanced acidity, as well as the classic "Riesling" style.
These wines are made from a blend of 5–40-year-old vines, planted in various plots closer to the river on alluvial soil and sand.
Fermentation took place in older large-format barrels (500–5000 l) and stainless steel tanks, followed by aging on yeast lees for about 3 months.

Very bright nose of pink grapefruit, lime zest and mint. So racy, sleek and stony you will either love this wine at the bottom end of the medium-bodied range, or it will be too much for you. For us, it is just a bit young. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
