Stunningly beautiful wine, its pure fruit driven by its mineral and spice texture. This is impressive Grüner, tasting of the hard rocks and heat of the Wachau while keeping bright yellow and apple flavors.

“Served from the magnum, the 2008 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Wösendorfer Kollmütz (from a coolish year) was macerated for 30 hours and offers a clear and elegant bouquet of dried fruits. Ripe and very elegant on the palate this is a medium to full-bodied but finesse-full and very elegant wine with a lot of grip, tension and lingering salinity. Gorgeous!”
