Grüner Veltliner Ried Achleiten Smaragd 2023

Grüner Veltliner from Ried Achleiten is renowned for its distinct character and remarkable individuality. This wine showcases a delicate herbal spiciness, complemented by gentle stone fruit notes and subtle exotic aromas. The gneiss soil of Achleiten plays a crucial role, enhancing its vibrant acidity and creating a refreshing profile.

As a Smaragd, it embodies the essence of dry, dense, and complex Wachau wines, offering not only impressive structure and depth but also significant aging potential. This wine evolves beautifully, being charming in its youth, reaching its first peak after 3 to 5 years, and capable of maturing gracefully for 15 years or more.

Grüner Veltliner Smaragd pairs exquisitely with classic Austrian dishes such as Tafelspitz served with apple-horseradish sauce and chive sauce or a rich Kalbsbeuschel (veal stew). It also harmonizes splendidly with bold flavors from Asian cuisine; for an adventurous pairing, try it with Thai Som Tam (spicy papaya salad) to elevate the dining experience.
