Drinking Window Drink now or age for at least 3–5 years
Classification Smaragd
Region Wachau
Soil Poor primary-rock soils
Harvest Dates Mid-October 2019
Sites Steep terraced vineyards surrounding Dürnstein and Loiben
Fermentation Vessels Stainless Steel
Production Details Fruit was hand-picked in mid-October from labor-intensive steep terraces whose poor soils limited average yield to 7,500 kg/ha. Following temperature-controlled stainless-steel fermentation, a portion matured in large wooden casks for several weeks. The sheet prints acidity as “6.4%” without a clear g/L or acid-equivalent basis, so no canonical total-acidity value is proposed.
Tasting Notes
Nose: ripe apple, physalis, subtle pepper spice, kiwi
Palate: expressive, rich, juicy fruit, refreshing acidity, balanced, very long finish
Food Pairing Fish in creamy sauces, Deep-fried meats, Tafelspitz, Chicken, Veal
