Steinriegl Riesling

Prager

Steinriegl Riesling

Federspiel signifies a purely Wachau wine, fermented dry naturally between 11.5% and 12.5% alcohol.  Steinriegl is the name of the vineyard sourced for this wine.

Tasting Notes

Light yellow color with greenish hue. The aroma is intense with notes of green apple, lime, pear, and apricots. On the palate, the wine presents flavors of green apple, citrus, and stone fruits. The wine is very dry with mouth-watering acidity, a might-medium body, minerality and a long finish.

Food Pairing

Pair with fresh oysters on the half shell with green apple sorbet with lime zest.  The fresh taste of the sea  shines through as the salty flavor of the oyster is paired with the acidity of the wine. The apple and lime flavors of both the wine and sorbet match, highlighting the flavors of pear and stone fruits in the wine.
