| Description: | "Ried Moosburgerin is one of the oldest (first mentioned in a document from 890 AD), smallest (6.6ha) and best-known vineyards in the Kremstal. The extremely favourable terroir invites the grapes to ripen longer in autumn and thus develop greater aromaticity. And that's exactly what we encourage them to do. Every year we try to harvest the grapes as late as possible, yielding a more multifaceted and full-bodied Riesling, accentuating structure and expressiveness. Before pressing, we leave the grapes on the skins for about six hours. Élevage takes place in steel tanks, where the wine rests on the fine lees for five to six months. Our Moosburgerin presents itself in the nose with subtle stone fruit aromas and a light note of exotic fruits; on the palate it is elegant, firm, rich in finesse and underscored with minerals, culminating in a notably long finish. Due to its late harvest date, Riesling Ried Moosburgerin takes longer to develop. Quite in character for the wine, that it often changes its flavour profile over time and only reaches its peak form after a few years of development in the bottle." —winemaker |
