Alzinger, Riesling Ried Loibenberg Smaragd, 2023
Leo Alzinger is the best of the best. Among Austria's top white wine producers — Hirtzberger, Pichler, Knoll, Prager — Alzinger stands in the front rank, a small estate that earns its reputation vineyard by vineyard. Loibenberg is one of the Wachau's most powerful Grand Cru-equivalent sites: south-facing terraced slopes above the Danube, gneiss and loess soils, capable of producing Riesling of enormous depth and precision. Smaragd is the Wachau's highest ripeness category — Alzinger's Loibenberg Smaragd is thus the fullest expression of what this estate and this terroir can do. The 2023 is still young, and it will reward another decade in the cellar, but it already shows the minerality and concentration that defines the greatest Austrian Riesling.
