Domane Wachau Smaragd Terrassen Gruner Veltliner 2023

Open and approachable on the nose, highlighted by ripe yellow apple, white pepper and underlined by delicate citrus peels with a touch of smoky tobacco; on the palate beautifully balanced with a crisp acidity which results in an elegant and powerful body, juicy exotic fruit flavors, plenty of spices and dry herbs dominate the palate that is long and full. Smaragd wines are dry, full-bodied, and complex wines with plenty of finesse and great aging potential.

Served well chilled directly from the fridge, Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Terrassen is a versatile companion.

It goes well with characterful Mediterranean dishes such as fish Paella or Asian cuisine such as Thai Satay Gai (chicken skewers with peanut sauce). This wine is already very accessible in its youth but can also be aged for 3 to 5 years.

90 Points - Wine Spectator

Salty and yeasty, with a fruity mellowness to its flavors of verbena and yellow apple. Shows restraint on the chiseled palate, offering notes of warm hay, iodine and briny tang. Shows good length and balance.
