Weissenkirchner Achleithen Smaragd Grüner Veltliner
Vibrating and ringing! Peppermint, white pepper, glass crumb, bay leaf, orange peel, peel of a green apple, fresh greens from the garden. Ultra thin, strict and complex. Clean energy and absolute balance in the glass. Huge potential. Must have for every cool climate wine lover. Extraordinary!

Nov 26th, 2016Top producer of Wachau with Gruner in Smaragd style from the grand cru « ried » Achleithen. 2016 is still young to drink, has easily 10 years potential to age. Very complex wine, medium acidity. The nose is less typical Gruner, but very terroir wine. Great body and aftertaste. Aromas of white flowers, butter, sunflower seeds, herbs, even vegetable aromas
