Why Barbora Loves It
This 2021 Wachau is a prime example of the versatility of the Grüner Veltliner grape. As a Steinfeder wine, it represents the lightest and freshest style produced in the Wachau region.
Domaine Wachau is a growers’ cooperative with a commitment to exceptional quality that sets them apart. Many grape growers in the region have small vineyards, often less than one hectare in size, making it challenging for them to produce and market their own wine. Domaine Wachau brings these growers together, allowing them to combine their grapes and create exceptional wine.
Today, the winery is one of most well-regarded wineries in Austria, having been voted a World's Best Vineyard by an international tasting panel (No. 1 in Europe & No. 3 worldwide). Thanks to families with generations of experience and expertise working the plots within the Domäne, the winemakers benefit from deep knowledge of the traits of each parcel of land.
Alongside an increasing focus on balance, sustainability, and organic practices, the winery is preserving and leveraging a tradition of craftsmanship while charting a decidedly modern path. If you like the wine, we cannot recommend enough a trip to visit the vineyard. Trust us.
Tasting & Pairing
Tasting notes:
The 2021 vintage was a cool growing season, which contributes to a refreshing quality in the wine, accentuating its aromatic profile and making it incredibly enjoyable and easy to drink. We’ve already said it, but this wine truly captures the essence of the Grüner Veltliner grape. Its crisp acidity provides a refreshing character, while the vibrant fruit flavours, like citrus, green apple, and white peach, bring a lively and vibrant quality to the wine. There’s also a characteristic hint of herbal complexity, which gives the overall profile just a little extra kick. For pairings, think greens and herbal dishes. Dishes with snap peas, basil, or broccoli will be winning combinations.
