Austria

The Proidl family winery operates somewhere between tradition and modernity. The Proidls see themselves as craftsmen and mountain winegrowers with a past (they’ve been working the sites since 1738) and a promising future. They are minimalists and want to showcase wines that are made with patience and precision. The results are as precise as one would hope.

The Riesling we are sharing has classic hallmarks of a Riesling grown on granite soils. There’s a fine herbal, savory component that plays off fresh fruit like peach, young citrus, and tart apples, but the mineral core, along with the fresh acid and long finish, makes this a wine that we can see ourselves enjoying just as much (if not more!) ten years from now.

Pair with almost any food, but this will shine with Thai.
