Wachau Riesling Amphora 2021

Intense and open on the nose: subtle notes of beeswax, honeydew melon, biscuit and rich tropical fruit flavours integrate well with tertiary aromas of cloves and cedar. On the palate this wine is very deep and complex. Fine tannins and crisp acidity are accompanied by notes of caramel, subtle hints of marzipan, tropical fruits and dark chocolate. This wine is dense, compact, complex and extremely long on the finish.

The grapes for the Riesling Amphora come from terraced vineyards. The unique interplay of the warm Pannonian climate and the barren primary rock soils produce unmistakable Wachau wines with powerful elegance.

Work in the vineyard takes place based on sustainable and, increasingly, organic principles, without the use of insecticides or herbicides. The Vorderseiber vineyard in Weissenkirchen reaches the highest altitude of all vineyards in the Wachau. Cool climate and gneiss rock set this site apart and make this terroir unique. The vines in the Vorderseiber vineyard are 80 years old.
