From Nikolaihof in Austria’s Wachau, the Ried Steiner Gaisberg Riesling Auslese 2017 is a refined 100% Riesling sourced from biodynamically farmed vines on the steep, terraced Steiner Gaisberg vineyard on gneiss and primary rock soils along the Danube that impart vibrancy and depth. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2017 vintage—characterized by moderate conditions yielding concentrated yet fresh fruit—undergo long, slow fermentation in stainless steel to complete dryness with full lees contact until immediately before bottling, preserving energy and minerality. Demeter-certified biodynamic since 2006, this production yields a golden wine with remarkable freshness and structure.

Tasting Notes A dense, complex Wachau Riesling Auslese with aromas of ripe peaches, apricots, and honeyed botrytis, offering a luscious, creamy palate of candied citrus, dried figs, and noble rot concentration, balanced by vibrant acidity and a long, mineral-laced finish. The nose reveals peach, apricot, and honey with subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and harmonious, with bright acidity, creamy texture, and flavors of tropical fruit, citrus, and chalky minerality, leading to a long, graceful finish.

Awards and Accolades The 2017 Ried Steiner Gaisberg Riesling Auslese earned 94 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for its luscious, creamy palate of candied citrus, dried figs, and noble rot concentration with vibrant acidity.

Serving and Cellaring Serve at 10-12°C with 20-30 minutes of chilling to accentuate aromas. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with foie gras, blue cheese, or fruit desserts. Enjoy now through 2040, during which it will develop enhanced nutty and honeyed nuances.
