Acclaim
“The 2015 Steiner Ried Grillenparz 1ÖTW Kremstal Riesling displays a clear, precise and elegant nose with mango aromas intertwined with flinty notes of crushed, crystalline rocks. Full, round and juicy on the palate, with gorgeous fruit and lovely mineral structure, this is a rich and powerful yet elegant and vital Riesling from the Steiner Grillenparz terraces, where gneiss, mica and conglomerate soils give impressive length and great complexity, with racy but really delicate acidity.”
— Wine Advocate, Aug 2017
