Ried Zöbinger Heiligenstein 2016<br />

Medium green-yellow with silver highlights. Still yet a bit<br />

restrained – delicate nuances of apple and pear mingle<br />

with a touch of orange zest and mineral notes. Juicy apple<br />

fruit flavours a round texture and is highlighted by a fine<br />

spine of acid. A touch of honey and pleasant minerals linger<br />

on the finish.<br />

STEININGER<br />

The Steininger family has established a<br />

unique Austrian sparkling wine philosophy<br />

with its production of single-varietal<br />

vintage sparkling wines with Kamptal regional<br />

character. The key factor to their success is the<br />

use of the finest base wines that display clearly<br />

defined, fragrant fruit as well as fine mousse derived<br />

from a gentle second fermentation in the<br />

bottle. These two factors come together to express<br />

varietal character and enhance the flavour<br />

profile of each base wine.<br />

The single-vineyard sparkling wines “Riesling<br />

Ried Heiligenstein”, “Weissburgunder<br />

Ried Panzaun”, and “Grüner Veltliner Ried<br />

Steinhaus” are prime examples where the variety<br />

and terroir stand in the foreground. The<br />

same quality consciousness is displayed in the<br />

production of still wines. The focus is dedicated<br />

to Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. The<br />

signature style is, just as with the sparkling<br />

wines, clear, proud, and expressive. The winery’s<br />

most important vineyards are the Loisiumweingarten<br />

and Kittmannsberg for Grüner<br />

Veltliner and Steinhaus and Seeberg for Riesling.<br />

The vinification facility of the Steininger<br />

winery is integrated in the Loisium wine experience<br />

centre. Visitors follow the path of<br />

grapes through their evolution to wine and<br />

can look over the shoulder of the winemaker<br />

as he works. The Loisium <strong>Wine</strong> and Spa Hotel<br />

is a luxurious accommodation that more<br />

than adequately meets the desires of wine-loving<br />

travellers.<br />

94 K Weißburgunder brut Sekt g.U.<br />

Ried Panzaun Große Reserve 2013<br />

Medium green-yellow with silver highlights and very fine<br />

mousse. Delicate apple fruit with subtle nuances of pineapple<br />

and mandarin zest with a touch of sponge cake.<br />

Full-bodied, yet elegant with a fine acid structure and delicate<br />

fruit sweetness. Harmonious and versatile. This single-vineyard<br />

Pinot Blanc sparkling has good potential for<br />

further development.<br />
