White dry
"Smaragd" is the name given to the highest quality Wachau white wine category, characterized by pronounced complexity, concentration, grape ripeness, and longevity.
The aromas of this wine unfold through notes of tobacco, herbs, stone fruit, and spices, complemented by an apple and mango aftertaste. In the mouth, the wine is complex, distinguished by notes of white fruit and subtle acidity.
"Riesling" grapes, harvested from 25-year-old vines grown in the best plots at the foot of Loiben hill, characterized by sand, loam, and gneiss soil, are harvested by hand. After a short maceration, the wine matures for 6 months in large oak barrels and stainless steel tanks on fine lees.
The name Kreutles dates back to 1353. The area is located at the foot of Loibenberg hill and is rich in glacial-formed calcareous deposits.
Serve 8-10 °C with shellfish, mussels, oysters, spaghetti with clams, turkey with spinach mash, poultry dishes.
The stunning nose of oranges and fresh tarragon pulls you into this succulent but very bright and animating gruner veltliner Samaragd. This has a wonderful vitality and clarity in spite of the richness on the mid-palate. Long, cool finish with delicate herbal notes. Drink or hold.
