Pfaffenberg Steiner Selection

2008 Wachau Riesling

The Knoll Pfaffenberg Steiner Selection Riesling from the celebrated Wachau region is a remarkable embodiment of age and terroir. This white wine showcases a beautifully balanced profile with a medium body that offers an inviting mouthfeel, complemented by a high acidity that adds a vibrant liveliness. Its fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of ripe stone fruits and zesty citrus that dance elegantly on the palate. The wine is bone dry, highlighting the purity of the varietal while allowing the minerality of the Wachau's unique landscape to shine. This 2008 vintage demonstrates remarkable complexity and depth, making it a superb choice for a range of culinary pairings or simply to enjoy on its own.

Austria may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of quality wine, but this slice of central Europe is home to crisp whites and elegant reds that are well worth seeking out. While many classic grapes are grown here, there are exceptional wines made from varieties you rarely see anywhere else, such as white Grüner Veltliner. Spicy and herbaceous, this wine combines notes of white pepper and asparagus with flint and apple. As for reds, the most planted is Zweigelt. This grape is a hybrid of two other local varietals: the spicy Blaufränkisch and light St. Laurent. It combines the best of both worlds with flavors of chocolate, black pepper and fresh raspberry.
