I picked up the 2006 Steinterrassen Riesling at Andersons for $11. That’s a hard to resist price for an Austrian Riesling.
This wine has an elegant palate. Rather than an austere acidity, there is a soft sweetness that is balanced with a bone-dry finish. There is a tingly minerality with delicate floral aromas.
In short, this is a darn good Riesling for the price. Have no fear about the 2006 vintage, it is still drinking well and still has plenty of life.
The high acidity of Rieslings provides a longer cellar life than most whites. I intend to add Salomon Undhof to my “watch” list for the future.
Rating: 3 of 5 Value: 4 of 5
