Domane Wachau Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Terrassen

The Gruner Veltliner Terrassen Emerald from Domane Wachau is a juicy, grape varietal white wine from the Austrian wine growing region Wachau.

In the glass, this wine shimmers in bright, brilliant straw yellow. The bouquet of this Wachau classic is open and accessible, subtle and playful. The fragrance enchants with aromas of ripe apple, delicate citrus notes and a hint of tobacco. In addition, there is a classic pepper, combined with fruity pear and quince.

On the palate, this Veltliner from Austria is pleasantly powerful, but also very accessible and well-balanced with a lively refreshing acidity. Here, too, you can feel the juicy fruit nuances, a lot of spice and a hint of dried herbs. This Austrian white wine concludes with a long reverberation.

The grapes are not harvested by hand until the end of October until the beginning of November in the steep terraces. Due to the strict selection, only perfect, healthy harvested material reaches the wine cellar of the domain Wachau. At cool temperatures, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks. First, this white wine remains in the steel tanks before it is finally placed in large wooden barrels for a short time.

Enjoy this dry white wine from Austria with a wide variety of dishes: this Veltliner goes perfectly with rice dishes with white meat, fried fish, baked dishes, table-top or fried, light meat such as poultry or veal.
