Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Terrassen - Domäne Wachau

The Grüner Veltliner Terrassen Smaragd from Domäne Wachau is a juicy, varietal white wine from the Austrian wine-growing region of Wachau.

In the glass, this wine shimmers in bright, brilliantly luminous straw yellow. The bouquet of this Wachau classic is open and accessible, subtle and playful. The fragrance enchants with aromas of ripe apple, delicate citrus notes as well as a hint of tobacco. There is also a classic pepperiness, combined with fruity pear and quince. On the palate, this Veltliner from Austria is pleasantly powerful, yet also very approachable and well-balanced with a lively, refreshing acidity. Again, one senses the juicy fruit nuances, plenty of spice and a hint of dried herbs. This Austrian white wine closes with a long finish.
