Nikolaihof 'Vom Stein' Riesling Smaragd 2019 | Wachau, Austria
$169.00 AUD
Tasting Notes

This is benchmark biodynamic Riesling from Austria’s oldest winery. Grown on ancient gneiss soils and aged in large oak for over two years, this is a white wine of intensity, clarity, and deep internal calm.

For serious wine heads, monks, and people who like to drink minerals.

Tasting Notes
-Lemon peel, lime, and apricot
-Plum blossom and alpine herbs
-Waxy, precise texture
-Long saline-mineral finish

Decant it. Drink it cool, not cold. This wine is structured and alive — a rare combo. Serve with smoked trout, firm Alpine cheese, or just sip it alone in a clean room and pretend you live in a monastery.
