The history of the vineyard Liebenberg dates back to the 14th century. Early records mention “lieb’nperig”, which later became “Liebenberg”. The views of this south- and southwest facing site are lined by stone-walls. Liebenberg is situated in the western part of Durnstein and has rather cooler influences compared to for example Kellerberg. Liebenberg is one of the most fascinating vineyards in the Wachau, various forms of paragneiss represent the parent rock for the soils. Dark amphibolite outcrops are scattered everywhere, and amphibolite is also found in the stone walls. Due to its meagre terrain, the wines are characterized by elegance and subtle minerality.
“This wine is bright greenish yellow with hints of Golden Delicious apple, white peach, spicy notes of pepper and subtle hints of tropical fruit on the nose. Juicy fruit and lively acidity that complement the long lasting and powerful mouthfeel. Pairs well with spicy Asian inspired dishes and a range of cheeses”
