Domäne Wachau Riesling Ried Brandstatt Smaragd 2023

Riesling from Ried Brandstatt exemplifies vibrant acidity and lively structure. The nose reveals ripe stone fruit, citrus, and herbal aromas, offering a bright and refreshing profile. Thanks to the cool climate and high-altitude vineyards, the palate is fresh and precise, with a deep, compact body and a vertical, juicy finish. As part of the Smaragd category, this wine is dry, dense, and complex, with excellent aging potential.

The Riesling Brandstatt is a versatile wine for pairing with a variety of dishes. Austrian classics such as baked ham noodles (Schinkenfleckerl), whole roasted char, or veal ragout (Kalbsbeuschel) with dumplings are excellent choices. It also complements Mediterranean dishes like Vitello Tonnato, Pappardelle with chicken liver and sage, or Tortelloni with ricotta and spinach. For those with a taste for more exotic cuisine, try this Riesling with Korean Bulgogi beef or spicy tempura prawns.

Enjoy this wine in its youth for its vibrant freshness or allow it to evolve further with age for a more nuanced, mature expression.
