Alzinger’s Riesling Steinertal Smaragd is a wine that perfectly captures the essence of the Wachau—a region known for its steep, terraced vineyards and iconic, mineral-driven wines. The 2023 vintage shows off the full potential of Riesling from this stunning terroir, where the unique combination of slate soils and cool Alpine winds creates wines with both power and elegance.

The wine is fresh and precise, with vibrant citrus, green apple, and stone fruit aromas, along with the signature flinty, mineral backbone that defines Steinertal. On the palate, it’s textured yet crystalline, with a balanced acidity that keeps the wine lifted and vibrant. The finish is long and dry, leaving a subtle salty note that reinforces the wine’s connection to its terroir.

Steinertal Smaragd 2023 is a classic example of Wachau Riesling—lively and complex, with the structure to evolve over time. It’s a wine that pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, Asian cuisine, or simply enjoyed on its own to explore the full depth of its character.

"The 2023 Riesling Steinertal Smaragd is picked in one of the highest parcels of this site on orthogneiss. Scentedness and grace are clear and bright, represented by lemon and lemon leaf. The palate is exquisitely bright and presents heightened citrus sensibilities; the purest lemon just soars and sings. The palate is slender, bright and vivid, just not as long as last year. This needs time to unfold all of its undoubted elegance." —Vinous
