Domäne Wachau Grüner Veltliner Ried Kaiserberg Federspiel 2023

The Grüner Veltliner Ried Kaiserberg Federspiel captivates with intense aromas of white flowers, stone fruits, and smoky sweet spices, complemented by subtle tropical fruit notes. On the palate, the wine is fresh and well-balanced, showcasing lively acidity and a flavorful, well-structured salty minerality that lingers on the finish—a classic expression of Grüner Veltliner from the Wachau.

The name Federspiel reflects the elegance of these dry white wines, drawing from medieval falconry. Best served chilled, this wine is versatile, pairing beautifully with light Italian dishes like prosciutto with melon, classic Austrian fare such as Wiener Schnitzel with potato salad, or even spicy Indian tandoori chicken.

The 2023 vintage received 92 points from A La Carte and 91 points from Falstaff, with previous years consistently scoring highly. Enjoy this wine now for its freshness, or cellar it for another two to three years for further complexity.
