2017 Grüner Veltliner ‘Steinfeder’
Attractive spring meadow character with some bright apple fruit. It is finely balanced and spicy, each sip arousing an anticipation of summer. Without high sugar content, the wine made from these grapes is especially fruity, light and easy to drink.
2017 Grüner Veltliner ‘Weissenkirchen’ Federspiel
This wine is from very small vineyards in Weissenkirchen. The delicate mineral tone adds a playful touch. It is very fruity, smooth and well balanced with an ending of melon and finish with a hint of pepper. Very moreish.

Relatively tart and comparatively cool, herbaceous-vegetable and white-peppery fragrance with fine yellow-fruity aromas and quite clear mineral notes. very fine acidity, good persistence, some bite.
2015 rIESLING ‘rIED sTEINRIEGL’ fEDERSPIEL
A straight, piquant and racy Riesling with very clear compact and finely meshed aroma of stone fruit like vinyard peaches. A delicate mineral and herbal flavour on the palate. This Riesling is very bright and the older it gets the better it gets.
2016 rIESLING ‘rIED ACHLEITEN’ fEDERSPIEL
Still quite funky with smoky reduction, but this has a ton of youthful fruit character and is very racy. The finish is firm, lemony and mineral.
2015 rIESLING ‘rIED aCHLEITEN’ sMARAGD
From an ancient maison and from one of the most well-known parcels in Wachau, this one is a vine variety interpretation of great potential. Its nose reveals white peach, spices and a definite herbaceous tone, while its mouth is mineral, sapid and greatly juicy.
