Wachau DACGemischter Satz Smaragd 2022

Yellow apple, persimmon, white peach with intense smoky and tropical notes. Powerful on the palate with a spicy backbone, long-lasting with mineral character, juicy core and crisp acidity.

Work in the vineyard takes place based on sustainable and, increasingly, organic principles, without the use of insecticides or herbicides, and grapes are hand-picked. The grapes come from ancient vineyards planted in the 1930s, mainly Grüner Veltliner and small amounts of Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. After eight hours of skin contact, the wine was fermented and aged in used 500-litre oak barrels.

Serve well chilled, enjoyed fresh from the fridge, the wine goes well with classics of Austrian cuisine such as roast caraway with cabbage, a creamy paprika chicken with spätzle or pumpkin goulash. It also accompanies spicier fish dishes as for example baked carp or pikeperch Serbian-style. This Gemischter Satz harmonizes particularly well with tasty dishes of Asian cuisine, try the Thai Som Tam (spicy papaya salad), Thai curry with prawns or various dim sums.
