Grüner Veltliner Ried Hochrain Smaragd
Smaragd is the Wachau designation for dry late harvest wines, above 12.5% alcohol through natural fermentation. Vines up to 50 years old, growing in weathered primitive rock and loess soils, yield a profound, archetypal Veltliner that is rich in extracts.
Tasting Notes
Pale lemon green with notes of grass, lemon, white grapefruit and stones. The wine is medium bodied and has steely minerality, complemented by subtle citrus fruit flavors.
Food Pairing
Pair with grilled tilapia, Chinese chicken salad, or zucchini gazpacho.
