Aigner - Riesling Ried Weinzierlberg 2019
Versatility is the word here! Not sweet, but lush fruit with bright apple, lemongrass and lime zest. There’s good minerality and acidity for a clean refreshing finish. Again, this is perfect for all kinds of dishes, from smoked fish, roasted root veggies and perfect for “the bird”.
Aigner Description
The Weinzierlberg vineyard was first mentioned in 1309 as ‘Weinzurlpersch’. The soil is in the foothills of the primary rock soil and is covered with about 1.5 metres of sandy loam. One might say that the Weinzierlberg produces more austere wines with a more pronounced acid nuance than wines from the Sandgrube. Our Riesling was harvested with a vintage gradation of 18.5° KMW.
Analysis: 13.5 % alcohol by volume/
5.3 g residual sugar
6.6 % acid
Tasting: A slightly subtle bouquet followed by gradual hints of sweet lime, lemongrass and green apples. Flinty, pronounced green apple notes. This is one for the Riesling purist.
Food Pairings:This wine goes well with cold appetizers and salads. A superb complement to food, this wine is perfect with grilled fish, roast veal, veal medallions, ravioli and similar dishes. Superb with Greek cuisine and especially veal and lamb dishes.
