Alzinger 2008 Steinertal Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)
- $62
So steely and mineral-driven, this is an intensely crisp wine, with concentrated fresh apple flavors over a texture that shows pear skins and orange zest. Acidity and spice combine on the finish.

Alzinger 2008 Steinertal Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)
- Cellar Selection
- $59
A brilliant, fresh wine, beautifully integrated, bringing together green apple, papaya and intense acidity. The texture has spice, nutmeg and ginger to go with the taut minerality. A wine for aging.

You can feel the richness of this wine as it rolls opulently around the mouth. The Grüner spice character is dominant, giving intense concentration to go with the yellow fruits. Acidity is a balanced addition to the mix on this impressive wine.

Alzinger 2007 Steinertal Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)
- $60
Concentrated, firm, touched by caramel, this wine starts out intensely fruity. Then texture, mineral and fruit skins come in to play. The wine is impressively complete, its acidity ratcheted up a notch by the fine floral, green and white fruit flavors.

Alzinger 2007 Steinertal Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)
- $60
There’s power in this concentrated wine. The texture is rich, velvet, touched by pepper, ripe acidity and pear skins. Along with its creamy, rounded character, the wine has the bite of tight spice and a dry, firm core.

Alzinger 2007 Loibenberg Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)
- Cellar Selection
- $60
Soft and perfumed, the flavors are elegant but intense at the same time. The acidity gives a great freshness to what is in fact a rich wine, the apple and pear flavors going deep down to the steely core. It would be worth aging this wine—maybe 3–5 years.
