Description

This Riesling is a true powerhouse among the wines of the Wachau. It is harvested by hand and in several harvesting passages. After amaceration on the skins for a few hours, the wine is fermented in steel tanks. It exhibits impressive concentration, deep character and a very long finish. Expressive on the nose, with ripe stone fruit aromas, orange zest and a hint of lime. Characterized on the palate by tropical fruit, ripe mango and pineapple; finely structured, clear fruit, salty and mineral notes, very complex, with lively acidity. In Smaragd classification included complex, rich wines from the Wachau with excellent storage potential.

Serving recommendations

Serve chilled at about 9-11 °C. It goes well with a variety of fish dishes such as for example, a fried Branzino withasparagus risotto or a hearty Frutti di Mare pizza as well as typical Austrian dishes such as rissoles with mashed potatoes or a boiled beef with apple horseradish and chive sauce. Butthe wine also harmonizes wonderfully with an Indian spicy fish curry.

About brand

Domane Wachau, led by Roman Horvath MW and Heinz Frischengruber, has developed into one of the top wineries in Austria, with an excellent range of Wachau wines that beautifully reflect origin. The history of the vineyards of the cooperative has been known since 1137. The small vineyard plots in the steep terraces along the Danube river are cultivated by vintner families – the true heroes of the winery – through their intensive manual work. Craftsmanship, sustainability, and the unique biodiversity are the pillars of the vineyards that Domane Wachau manages. Dry climate of Pannonia and the air flows from the Atlantic formed the special microclimate conditions in the Wachau Valley. Here every single vineyard has its own microclimate. Many of these vineyards are world-famous, including Achleiten, Kellerberg and Singerriedel. All plots are fenced with natural stone walls and are considered part of the world cultural heritage under UNESCO protection.
