Vinification and Ageing: Grapes are hand-picked in multiple passes. Sustainable and organic practices are used in the vineyard, with no insecticides or herbicides. Grapes undergo skin contact for several hours. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in stainless steel tanks.
Wine is aged in large wooden casks for a few months after initial time in steel tanks.
Tasting Notes: Aromas from yellow apple, grapefruit, and white pepper accompanied with elegant flavors, full-bodied, with fine spice, minerality, refreshing acidity, long aftertaste, and a mineral-spicy finish.
Food Pairing: Austrian cuisine: Stuffed veal breast, roast goose, duck, roast pork. Asian cuisine: Thai Satay Gai (chicken skewers with peanut sauce). Mediterranean cuisine: Paella, penne all`arrabbiata, saltimbocca. The wine is enjoyable young but can also age well.
Renowned Austrian estate, Domäne Wachau, boasts a variety of elegant Wachau wines reflecting their unique origin. Led by Roman Horvath MW and Heinz Frischengruber, their focus lies on depth and drinkability. These wines are born from small, organic plots in world-famous vineyards like Achleiten, Kellerberg, and Singerriedel, meticulously cultivated by dedicated vintner families. Sustainability and biodiversity are paramount, making Domäne Wachau a must-visit for both its wines and diverse wine tourism experiences.

Grüner Veltliner
Grüner Veltliner is Austria`s most famous grape variety. It is indigenous to Austria and is grown extensively in every Austrian wine region with the exception of Steiermark. It constitutes 36% of all vineyard plantings with the best wines coming from the north-east of the country, particularly regions such as the Wachau, Kamptal and Kremstal which border the Danube River.
Grüner Veltliner is a late ripening variety that typically produces wines that are pale green in colour and display fruit notes of grapefruits, limes, pears, and sometimes hints of white pepper. They normally possess a steely backbone of acidity which enables the best bottles to age gracefully. The grape`s natural acidity accompanied by its restrained and understated fruit characters makes its wines ideal partners for food. A marvelous alternative to the more mainstream white grape varieties.
