2022 Familie Saahs Nikolaihof Riesling vom Stein Federspiel, Wachau, Austria Zalto a rustic local varietyThis site is a sub site of the larger Silberbichel vineyard. Located south east of the village, this is just 5. 25 Ha and is a slight incline, sloping east, on the easternmost border of the Silberbichel vineyard. The soils are gneiss with mica inclusions; there is a layer of loess and topsoil here 60 120cm before you start to hit primary rock. Nikolaihof is the only winery to bottle this site on its own, but it is not a true monopole.
