Based in Dürnstein, Weingut Leo Alzinger cultivates steep Danube vineyards of primary rock soils. Loibenberg is a warm, east-facing site delivering powerful Riesling. Classified as Smaragd, it represents the estate’s fullest style. The warm 2018 vintage was fermented in stainless steel with extended lees ageing. Compared to Steinertal, Loibenberg Smaragd is broader and more fruit-driven, showing ripe peach, apricot and firm mineral backbone with generous texture and ageing potential https://alzinger.at/
