"With cacao and crushed stone as well as concentrated peach aromas the 2016 Ried Steiner Hund Riesling is subtle refined and complex on the finely spicy yet deep complex and elegant nose. Bottled in April this year this is a full-bodied dense juicy well-concentrated and crystalline-mineral Riesling with lots of power and sustainable grip and concentration. Another long-distance runner yet more puristic and grippy than the 2015 or 2013. 12.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domaine in June 2

With almost 2,000 years of history, the Nikolaihof is the oldest winery in Austria. Primarily Riesling and Grüner Veltliner are cultivated on 22 hectares according to strict biodynamic Demeter guidelines. No herbicides, pesticides, artificial fertilizers or synthetic sprays are used in the vineyards. The wines ferment on their own yeast and are stored in the historic Roman wine cellar in large, old oak barrels for up to 20 years.
