Alzinger Grüner Veltliner Dürnstein Federspiel 2024 750ml
Alzinger Grüner Veltliner Dürnstein Federspiel 2024 750ml
From Weingut Alzinger in Unterloiben, in Austria's Wachau Valley, where the Alzinger family has been working steep terraced vineyards along the Danube since the 1930s. Leo Alzinger Sr. began bottling under his own label in 1983, and his son Leo Jr. now runs the estate alongside his daughter Katharina. They farm holdings of around 11 hectares across renowned rieden including Loibenberg and Steinertal, planted to roughly 55% Grüner Veltliner and the rest to Riesling.
This Grüner Veltliner Federspiel is sourced from multiple parcels around Dürnstein, with the alluvial soils near the Danube giving a fruit-driven, approachable expression of the variety. Expect lifted aromas of yellow apple, lime, white pepper and fresh herbs, leading into a juicy, taut palate with Wachau's signature precision.
Grapes are hand-harvested late, often weeks after their neighbours, to achieve full physiological ripeness without elevated sugars. Whole-cluster crushed with a short maceration, then settled cool before slow spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel and large old acacia and oak casks. The wines are aged on the fine lees, vinified within the strict Vinea Wachau codex.
