Crafted from the Steinhaus vineyard, L. Hiedler’s Riesling Steinhaus 2022 is a beautiful expression of the Kremstal region in Austria. Known for its ability to combine freshness with depth, this Riesling showcases the characteristic minerality and elegance of the terroir, making it a true reflection of the Kremstal’s unique soils.
The nose is bright and inviting, with zesty citrus—lime, lemon, and grapefruit—intertwined with the crispness of green apple and delicate floral notes of jasmine and acacia. As it opens, hints of wet stone and a subtle herbal undertone emerge, providing a layered complexity that reflects the stony soils of the vineyard. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with a sharp acidity that lifts the fruit and enhances the wine’s precision. The minerality adds depth, while the finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering note of citrus zest and a stony minerality.
Riesling Steinhaus 2022 is a perfect match for seafood, grilled vegetables, or a simple goat cheese salad. While it is already drinking beautifully now, it also has the potential to age and evolve over the next few years, developing even more complexity with time. A fine example of Austrian Riesling, this wine brings together vibrancy, elegance, and the pure expression of the Kremstal terroir.
