Alzinger, Gruner Veltliner Ried Loibenberg Smaragd, 2023

Alzinger’s 2023 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd comes from the steep, sun-drenched Loibenberg vineyard in the Wachau. This premier site’s weathered gneiss soils and elevation yield powerful, mineral-rich wines. The grapes are hand-harvested and farmed sustainably. Vinified dry and aged in stainless steel, the wine is concentrated yet precise. It’s one of Alzinger’s top expressions, showcasing the structure and depth that define the Smaragd category in Austria’s most prestigious white wine region.
