2022 Wieninger, Wiener Riesling, Ried Preussen 1ÖTW Nussberg, Austria
Varieties: Riesling

From the historic Preussen vineyard (ried) in the heart of Vienna's famed Nussberg, this biodynamically farmed Riesling captures the precision and minerality of one of the city's most distinguished sites. Rooted in exceptionally calcareous limestone and sandstone soils, the 2022 reveals aromas of yellow orchard fruit, stone fruit, mandarin zest, and delicate blossom honey. Juicy and layered on the palate, it balances ripe white fruit with striking mineral tension, delivering a refined, age-worthy expression of Vienna Riesling.
