Description

Il Riesling Smaragd Achleiten è un vino bianco austriaco prodotto esclusivamente con uve Riesling coltivate nel distretto di Achleiten, un terroir particolarmente scosceso dove il terreno è composto da scisti, gneiss e silicio.

Dopo la raccolta delle uve selezionate con cura, gli acini vengono delicatamente pressati e il mosto ottenuto, viene messo a fermentare sia in botti di rovere sia in vasche d’acciaio inossidabile, macerando per 8 ore. L’affinamento prosegue con il metodo del “doppio binario” e dunque facendo maturare il vino sia in acciaio sia in legno per alcuni mesi.

Si presenta al calice con una veste gialla verdolino con lievi riflessi tendenti al dorato. Al naso è un tripudio sensazionale che coniuga perfettamente ampi e variegati aromi che vanno da frutti a polpa bianca e gialla, a profumi speziati e nuance balsamiche. Fa il suo ingresso in bocca con spiccata intensità, un sorso di medio corpo, fresco e raffinato. Il finale è particolarmente aromatico e dona al palato un piacevolissimo sapore di frutta dolce.

Un bianco che si sposa divinamente a portate a base di pesce cotto e crudo, oltre a formaggi stagionati.

Winery history

The estate's origins are documented as far back as the Middle Ages. The historic complex and the vineyards passed over time to several noble families; after the transfer of parcels from the Starhemberg to local growers, the site developed into a growers' cooperative. In the 20th century the cooperative adopted various names and has operated as Domäne Wachau since the late 2000s; the organization brings together hundreds of member-growers who cultivate the steep terraces of the Wachau.

Production philosophy

Craftsmanship, respect for the terroir and precision in the vineyard and cellar: Domäne Wachau emphasizes the grapes' inherent quality, agricultural practices focused on biodiversity and soil health, and low-intervention winemaking. The estate has undertaken sustainability and certification initiatives and promotes ongoing training for its growers.

Terroir and vineyards

Wachau Valley, on the steep terraces along the Danube around Dürnstein. The grapes come from numerous renowned Rieden/contrade of the Wachau, including Achleiten, Loibenberg, Kellerberg, Axpoint, Tausendeimerberg and other exposures typical of the valley's gneiss cliffs.

Awards and recognitions

Public highlights include awards in national competitions and international mentions; historically cited as "International Winery of the Year" by Wine & Spirit and included in Forbes World's 50 Best Wineries.
