Proidl Senftenberg Riesling Ried Pfeninberg Erste Lage Kremstal DAC
Weingut Proidl
Austria - Kremstal

Individualistic terroir-wine from a steep slope of mica schist – by no means a wine for vino logical techno-fans! Glistening golden yellow, apricot fruit packed in salty minerality and invigorating acidity give the wine its weightless elegance and grace, despite its substantial power. This wine wins the best prognosis for future enjoyment (if you do not drink it before!)
