Peter Schweiger Riesling Kogelberg 2022
From treacherous slate terraces, hard to work but ideal for Riesling, this combines the typical citrus "cut" of the variety with unmistakable Austrian ripeness and minerality.
Coming exclusively from estate vineyards in the Zöbing area, the grapes for this wine were harvested at the end of October. Great care and attention is paid to using environmentally friendly and sustainable cultivation methods in the vineyard.
The grapes were destemmed and given 6-8 hours’ cold maceration. After careful pressing, the juice underwent a slow temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and remained on fine lees until bottling the following summer.
