2023 Waldschutz Riesling Kamptal

Kamptal is a small, increasingly prestigious wine district located 35 miles northwest of Vienna, northern Austria. Steep, sun-baked terraced vineyards overlook its namesake, the River Kamp. The region produces some of the world’s finest white wines; including spicy Gruner Veltliner and flinty Riesling. Austria is one of the few producers of fine Riesling and very rarely will you ever find one that is sweet. We are big fans of the Waldschütz Winery.

Grown on Kamptal’s rocky soils that lend the wine its characteristic freshness and minerality, this Riesling has a brilliant gold colour and a beautiful perfumed nose with hints of peach and apricot. It is, perhaps unsurprisingly, lean with vibrant acidity, and flavours of juicy red apple, more stone fruit and zesty citrus fruits. Dry, yet well-rounded, this is a classic Austrian Riesling, yet if you are partial to a cool climate Albarino or a Chenin Blanc, you will feel right at home with a glass or two of this. Pair with aromatic spiced foods or even fish and chips.
