Hofbauer-Schmidt Riesling 2024, 0,75 L

The Ried Köhlberg vineyard in the far western Weinviertel lies close to the border with the Kamptal. Only fully ripe grapes from 35-year-old vines were harvested by hand. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, this Riesling was matured in large wooden barrels. This results in a wine that is well-balanced and elegant, while retaining its essential freshness.

In the glass, it shows aromas of vineyard peach and ripe apricot. Juicy, smooth extracts unfold on the palate. A well-formed body creates a pleasant mouthfeel, supported by a delicate fruit sweetness. It moves gracefully and finishes with a subtle, refined impression. It has excellent ageing potential for a further six to eight years.

Pairs well with fish or pork, accompanied by Mediterranean vegetables. It is also an excellent choice to enjoy on its own after a meal, offering very good value for money.
