Description
The Steinriesler Riesling from the Nikolaihof estate is the ultimate expression of the Saahs family's ancestral know-how. Made from vines grown on the ‘Vom Stein’ terroir, this Riesling is cultivated biodynamically, capturing the very essence of the Wachau region. After a natural vinification process, it is aged for 12 years in old tuns, developing an extraordinary aromatic richness.
On opening, this wine reveals subtle notes of stone fruit, candied zest, tobacco and spices. Its full, structured palate reveals complex layers of clementine, green pepper and acacia honey, underpinned by remarkable mineral tension.
This exceptional Riesling goes wonderfully well with refined dishes such as creamy poultry, noble fish or exotic dishes. Its impressive ageing potential makes it a rare wine, ready to evolve for another 10 years. A masterpiece for lovers of great terroir whites.
