Domane Wachau is deeply rooted in the Wachau region and manages 30% of the entire Wachau vineyard area (400 hectares), including half of Austria's most iconic vineyard, Achleiten. Additional famous vineyards such as Kollmitz, Liebenberg and Tausend-Eimer-Berg are found on the Domane Wachau's vineyard map making it the only winery in the Wachau with wines from all of the most prestigious sites in the region. The winery is led by MW Roman Horvath, whose team works closely with growers, and has instituted a vineyard quality assurance program. This sustainable vineyard management program includes measures of quality cultivation and is customized according to specific vineyards and vintage. Austria imposes very stringent wine laws, and the Wachau region goes beyond these with their quality categories of Steinfeder, Federspiel and Smaragd to assure uncompromising quality. The Wachau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretching from the banks of the Danube, benefits from the river's role as a climate regulator. Many of the vineyards are very steep and terraced with very old, dry stone walls. The very best vineyards are vinified separately to produce single vineyard Gruner Veltliners and Rieslings.
Tasting Notes
This wine is spontaneously fermented, matured in marble and granite and bottled unfiltered. Open and accessible on the nose, intense spice, pink pepper, thyme and fennel. On the palate ripe peach, quince, wet stones and chalkiness on the aftertaste. Gruner Veltliner Steinwerk is extremely accessible in youth however also has potential to age for another 3 to 5 years. Harmonizes perfectly with Austrian dishes as well as Mediterranean cuisine and spicy Thai curry.
