Eisacktaler Riesling DOC 2023

  The Eisacktal Riesling from the Neustift monastery in South Tyrol presents itself in a light, slightly golden yellow color, which already conveys an appealing freshness in the glass. Its bouquet is characterized by elegant, precise aromas, in which floral nuances of lime blossom and acacia blend harmoniously with fine citrus and peach notes. On the palate, it displays an impressive structure, supported by a lively acidity that lends freshness and finesse, while subtle minerality prolongs the finish and underlines the typical character of the Eisack Valley. The careful selection of grapes from the high altitudes of the Eisack Valley and the cool altitude contribute significantly to this clear aroma and delicate body.

Particularly noteworthy is the historical significance of the Neustift monastery, whose vineyards have been cultivated since the Middle Ages and thus represent a centuries-old wine tradition in South Tyrol. Eisacktal Riesling benefits from the cool nights and optimal sunshine in the region, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly, creating exceptional complexity and balance in the wine. With its harmonious elegance and clear indication of origin, this Riesling is an impressive example of the high quality of South Tyrol's white wines and the masterful craftsmanship of Neustift Abbey. - Gerardo [TS10/24]
