About this episode
Leo Alzinger, Jr. works with his family at the Alzinger winery in Austria's Wachau.
Leo Alzinger discusses the key vineyard holdings of the family, as well as some of the realities of climate change, and the conditions of some recent vintages. He also details some of the changes that have occurred at the winery as some techniques regarding lees contact and sulphur use have been fine-tuned. And Leo explains some of the differences between Gruner Veltliner and Riesling, both in terms of growing them in the vineyards and working with them in the winery.
Also in this episode, Erin Scala recounts the history of vines in the Wachau.
