What it pairs with
-
Grilled trout with lemon butter
Citrus notes in both the dish and wine create harmony; the mineral finish refreshes. -
Asparagus risotto
Creamy rice softens the wine's acidity; herbal asparagus echoes the wine's green notes. -
Soft goat's cheese
High acidity cuts through the cream; citrus in the wine lifts the tangy cheese.
History
The Loibner Berg bottling draws from parcels on the broader Loiben slope above the Danube, producing a more immediately accessible Riesling Smaragd with floral and stone-fruit character compared to the more austere Kellerberg site.
- 1985 — First vintage bottled as a separate Loibner Berg Riesling Smaragd cuvée
