The old vines bring a certain depth and volume to the wine. The variety mix makes it diverse and the Wachau soils bring a cool minerality. This mix makes it so exciting. From spicy notes to smoky herbs to peach and juicy mango can be found on the palate and in the nose. Very powerful and long lasting every sip. It pulls cleanly and precisely into the powerful finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: From roughly 80-year-old vines in the single-vineyard Ried Vorderseiber, the 2021 Gemischter Satz Uralt-Reben Smaragd is based on at least 10 grapes varieties planted in the mid-1920s as a field blend. The bouquet is clear, bright and aromatic as well as intense and well concentrated, intertwining ripe, white fruit aromas with saline notes of crushed rocks. Round, elegant and savory on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, tightly structured but stimulating, grippy Wachau DAC with good structure and salinity on the finish. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2022.

Producer Information

With winery director and Master of Wine Roman Horvath and winemaker Heinz Frischgruber the Domne Wachau has become one of the leading and most influential wineries in the region. About 440 hectares of terraces and vineyards are cultivated across the entire Wachau. Singerriedel, Achleiten, Kellerberg and Loibenberg are just some of the most famous terraces. While the range and diversity of wines is highly impressive, some common denominators can nevertheless be identified: ranging from Steinfeder to Smaragd, all of its wines are characterized by elegance and precision, depth of aromas and vivacity, and these qualities are neatly complemented by origin-specific notes. 95% of the Domne Wachaus grapes are white varieties, but it also produces sweet wines and the Domne Wachau Backstage-Portfolio is setting new standards. Innovation is one keyword that characterises their wines, authenticity a second one. These two qualities operate in perfect harmony with each other, and everyone who tries the wines of the Domne Wachau is able to taste and explore for themselves the finer features of the regions wide spectrum. It is possible to sample Veltliner & Co in the winerys own Vinothek. In addition to the wines, the Domne Wachau store also offers excellent spirits and other produce from the region.
