Based in Dürnstein in the Wachau, Weingut Leo Alzinger farms steep Danube terraces of primary rock soils, crafting precise, site-driven wines. The Dürnsteiner Riesling Federspiel is sourced from estate parcels around Dürnstein, reflecting cooler exposures and mineral soils. Classified as Federspiel, it represents a lighter, tension-focused style with moderate alcohol. The cooler 2014 vintage was fermented in stainless steel and aged briefly on fine lees to preserve freshness. Compared to Smaragd bottlings, this wine is more immediate and linear, showing citrus, green apple and clean mineral definition with vibrant acidity and early-drinking appeal. https://alzinger.at/
