Proidl Senftenberg Riesling Ried Pfeninberg Erste Lage Kremstal DAC
Weingut Proidl
Austria - Kamptal

Individualistic terroir-wine from a steep slope of mica schist – by no means a wine for vinological techno-fans! Glistening golden yellow, apricot fruit packed in salty minerality and invigorating acidity give the wine its weightless elegance and grace, despite its substantial power. This wine wins the best prognosis for future enjoyment (if you do not drink it before!)

Then comes the supermineral finish with its stunning Amalfi-lemon freshness. Great precision. Sustainable. Drink or hold. Screw cap.- Stuart PIGOTT"
