Domane Wachau Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Terrassen 2021

Cellar for up to 25 years. Decant up to 30 minutes before serving, according to preference.

From the nurturing banks of the Danube river, Domäne Wachau has become one of Austria’s most well-renowned wineries. Manager Roman Horvath MW and cellar master Heinz Frischengruber are supported by a stellar team of experts, and vintner families that carefully work each vineyard by hand.

Domäne Wachau manage several vineyards in the steep terraces alongside the Danube, some of which - Achleiten, Kellerberg and Singerriedel - are known around the world. This Gruner Veltliner Terrassen is composed of grapes from several vineyards under the care of Domäne Wachau. The winery works closely with nature, adopting an approach with minimal interference to fully express the terroir through their beautiful range of wines.

Subtle aromas of mango, honey, tobacco and white pepper waft from this dry white. It's an attractive straw yellow colour in the glass, a perfect expression of its origin. In the Wachau region, “Smaragd” simply means the wine must be over 12.5% alcohol - so despite its delightful taste, this is a powerful wine. Notes of yellow tropical fruit interweave with spices, herbs and a satisfying acidity. It has a lingering finish, full of lemon zest and minerality. This wine is perfect company for creamy dishes with white meat or fish, and like all Grüner Veltliners, it can be enjoyed immediately or cellared for many years.
