Tasting notes
The golden-yellow colored 2013 Steiner Hund Riesling opens with an intense and concentrated dark fruit aroma with flinty notes of perfectly ripe and concentrated stone fruits. On the palate, this is a rich, ripe, pure, finessed and concentrated Riesling with great elegance and a very long and aromatic finish, stimulating salinity and flavors of marjoram. It is a great and complex dry Riesling that weighs in at just 12.5% alcohol. It is marketed as Niederösterreich (Lower Austria), although it comes from the Kremstal; but, for several reasons Nikolaus Saahs doesn't want to follow the DAC system.

RS 3.3 g/l, TA 6.2 g/l. Intense and almost peachy on the nose. Sour freshness on the palate, with a little note of orange. Botrytis? Spicy freshness on the long finish. Really mouth-watering and already complex. (JH)
