Domäne Wachau Riesling Federspiel Loibenberg 2017

Loibenberg is one of the ”Grand Crus” of Austria. The ancient dry stone walls (someare dating back to the 14th century) reach up to 420m above sea level. The soil is dominated by
weathered primary-rock, the so called ”Gföhler Gneiss”, with layers of loess and loam. Warm pannonian airstreams make Loibenberg the ”hotplate” of the Wachau. Stretching out over
more than 20 hectares, Loibenberg is one of the Wachau’s biggest single vineyards and is famous for its diversified microclimate. This wine is a brilliant yellow-green. The nose has subtle hints of ripe delicious apple, quince, apricot, white peach and hints of exotic fruits. The dense fruit flavors on the palate and smoky saltiness all translate into structure and length.
