No one in Austria renders Riesling and Grüner with the same calm precision and radiant clarity.

It didn't disappoint. What's the difference between Liebenberg and Loibenberg? What makes a great Grüner or Riesling vintage? How to work around Grüner's phenolics? It's all there. Along with tons of information about the history of the estate and top vintages.
The interview couldn't have come at a better time. 2013 in Austria is an incredibly impressive vintage and, without a doubt, Alzinger is one of the stars. During the interview, Leo Alzinger mentions that 2013 is one of the best vintages in recent memory.

Steinertal has become Alzinger's most important site. Along with Kellerberg and Singerriedel, Steinertal is one of the Wachau's best sites. Beyond this, Steinertal's finessed minerality seems to form a perfect marriage with Alzinger's super-fine and elegant style. In 2013, Steinertal is simply beautiful. The balance and purity in this vintage are impossible not to take notice of.
I strongly encourage you to check out the interview and the wine from one of the world's most skilled white wine producers.
