Pale green yellow colour, silver reflections. Floral touch, fresh stone fruits, a hint of mango, delicate notes of tangerines in the background, and a mineral touch. Juicy, elegant, fine, integrated fruit sweetness, pleasant acidity, light-footed and fruity, versatile.

Pouring a luminous pale green-yellow colour, the 2024 Salomon Undhof Terrassen Riesling captures the distinct, mineral-driven essence of Kremstal's ancient stone terraces. This Austrian white unfolds with an aromatic core of pristine white peach, Meyer lemon, and crushed slate. The palate is elegantly woven and vibrant, defined by a crystalline acidity and a lightweight frame that carries delicate orchard fruit nuances over a persistent, stony finish. This is a highly focused and refreshing expression of terroir, highlighting the precision achievable with extended fine lees aging.
Pair this bright, focused Riesling with dishes that echo its crystalline purity and cut through its zesty acidity. Classic accompaniments include fresh sushi and sashimi, pan-seared trout, or a chilled crab salad.
