Riesling Smaragd "Kiss the Penny": Elegance from the Wachau

Elegant finesse, mineral depth and lively fruit – a Riesling jewel from biodynamic cultivation

Austria, Lower Austria, Wachau, Dürnstein            

Are you ready for a Riesling that lives up to its name? The "Küss den Pfennig" vineyard from the Schmidl organic winery is located at the heart of the famous Kellerberg vineyard in Dürnstein. Here, on steep stone terraces and barren primary rock, old vines grow, producing a wine of unique finesse and depth.

This is what makes this Riesling so special:

• Location icon: The Küss den Pfennig vineyard is a top location in the Wachau and is known for its mineral and elegant wines.
• Biodynamic cultivation: The Schmidl winery relies on organic farming to optimally promote the natural quality of the grapes.
• Elegant finesse: This single-varietal Riesling presents itself densely and charmingly on the palate without losing its mineral structure.
• Clear fruit aromas: Notes of juicy peach, tangy lemon and crisp green apple dance on the tongue.
• Fine acid structure: A lively acidity ensures freshness and balance in the wine.
• Long-lasting & harmonious: The finish is impressively long and leaves a harmonious impression with a lot of potential for the future.
• Dry with a subtle sweetness: With 8.5 grams of residual sugar, this Riesling is dry, but has a pleasant balance and variety of aromas.

This is how this fine drop is made:

The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected. After pressing, fermentation takes place gently in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The Riesling then matures on the fine lees for several months to further develop its harmony.

Tasting Note: In the glass, it shines bright yellow. The bouquet entices with aromas of peach, lemon, and green apple, underscored by mineral notes. On the palate, it is balanced and complex with a wonderfully fresh acidity.

Goes perfectly with:

• Poultry dishes of all kinds
• Tender veal loin
• Grilled and fried fish
• Spicy cheese
