The Magic of Steinertal:
2020 Alzinger Riesling Steinertal Smaragd

Posted by Joe Salamone

No one in Austria delivers the calm precision, the detail, and the radiant clarity that Alzinger does.

Along with Kellerberg and Singerriedel, Steinertal is one of the Wachau's best sites. For many Austrian wine fans, it simply doesn't get any better than Alzinger's Steinertal.

The site's finessed minerality seems to form a perfect marriage with Alzinger's super-fine and elegant touch.

Alzinger really thrived in the 2020 vintage. Across the collection, the wines have a sleek energy and beautiful focus. In no place is this more apparent than the Riesling Steinertal. 

In 2020, Steinertal hit a level of lift and elegance that's rarely encountered. There's an incredible combination of intensity, delicacy, and detail. It's animated by a really lovely radiant clarity. 

As most of you are sadly aware, the problem with Alzinger is the quantities. Alzinger is only 10ha, and the wines are doled out in painfully small amounts. There's no doubt that Steinertal is the site that is most aggressively hunted down. Please give us your ideal order, and we'll try our best.
