Pouring a light greenish-yellow colour with silver reflections, the 2022 Salomon Undhof Stein an der Donau Riesling captures the vibrant essence of Austria's Kremstal region. This expressive white opens with a delicately floral bouquet, revealing inviting aromas of white peach, lemon tea, and a bright hint of lime zest. The palate is juicy and remarkably elegant, displaying a beautifully integrated fruit profile and a slightly creamy texture. A lively line of acidity and a distinct stony minerality provide sharp focus, carrying the wine through a long, refreshing finish accented by a touch of blossom honey.
Pair this precise, mineral-driven Riesling with classic dishes that complement its bright acidity and subtle fruit profile. Excellent accompaniments include a fresh white fish ceviche, pan-seared trout with almonds, or a traditional Wiener Schnitzel. It also pairs beautifully with grilled asparagus or a light goat cheese salad.
