What it pairs with
-
Trout meuniere with almonds
The stony mineral notes elevate the nutty beurre noisette while the acidity freshens the fish. -
Tafelspitz with chive cream sauce
Riesling acidity cuts through the poached beef richness; spice notes match the horseradish. -
Light vegetable strudel
Mineral and herbal notes in the wine mirror the vegetable filling.
History
Steinporz is a lower-altitude Spitz site producing Riesling with rounder character than the higher Singerriedel. First bottled separately by Hirtzberger in the early 1990s as part of the estate's site-differentiation programme.
- 1992 — Steinporz first bottled as a dedicated Smaragd Riesling
