Stagard Ried Kremser Grillenparz Riesling 2021 (750 ml)

The 2021 Grillenparz Riesling from Stagård is a textbook expression of the Kremstal DAC’s stony terrain and cool climate. The vineyard’s high-elevation terraces allow for long ripening, giving the wine a balance of ripeness and razor-sharp precision. Winemaker Urban Stagård practices organic farming and spontaneous fermentation, emphasizing purity of terroir. This vintage opens with aromas of white peach, Meyer lemon, and wild herbs. The palate is linear yet layered, showing crushed rock minerality, racy acidity, and a saline finish that begs for shellfish or citrusy salads. 91 Points Robert Parker 94 Points James Suckling 93 Points Falstaff
