Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Achleiten - Domane Wachau 2016

Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Achleiten is an Austrian white wine produced exclusively with grapes Veltliner grown in the Achleiten district, a terroir particularly suited to the production of important white wines characterized by a steep territory, and where the soil is composed of shale, gneiss and silicon.

The difficult cultivation conditions due to the location of the vineyards produce a small quantity of fruit, however particularly concentrated and intense. The grapes, harvested at the right degree of ripeness, are carefully selected during the harvest; after a brief maceration on the skins and subsequent pressing, they are placed to ferment in stainless steel tanks and aged in large wooden barrels for a few months.

With a slightly greenish yellow appearance, an elegant and at the same time complex wine is born, capable of conquering taste and smell with its mix of fabulous aromas ranging from sweet notes of honey to fragrant hints of spicy citrus fruits, perfectly blended with nuances of ripe stone fruit and hints of mountain herbs.

A white wine that lends itself well to accompanying imaginative courses based on cooked or raw fish, delicate white meats and platters of not too seasoned cheeses.
