The words sleek, elegant and balanced best describe the Alzinger wines. While they're gorgeously vinous, they are never obvious or assertive; they are simply more laid back, and speak of their origins in a calm, metered tone.
Wine writer, importer, and all-round nice guy Terry Theise had this to say: “Alzinger’s wines are no more forceful than any of the other Wachau greats. They aren’t longer, or riper. What they do is take the serenity with which they’re endowed and pass it upward through a kind of apotheosis, beyond which they are beatific and glowing. You wouldn't be surprised if the cellarmaster were the Dalai Lama.”
