"Bright aromas of spiced peaches and cardamom. Creamy and polished palate shows good concentration and lemon-drop finish. Expressive and approachable."

The Schnaiter Altenberg Riesling originates from a vineyard with VDP.GROSSE LAGE classification - where Germany’s finest wines grow. The vineyard, with its soil rich in sandstone, produces a unique wine that is expressive of its origin.
This Riesling Grand Cru has aromas of white peach, ripe mandarin, yellow tropical fruits and honey. On the palate, it has juicy hints of young pineapple, as well as depth, complexity and a spicy structure, which ensures a full-bodied mouthfeel.
An impressive and complex Riesling with great aging potential.
Food Recommendation: This dry Riesling pairs well with fish and poultry.
