Domane Wachau Gruner Veltliner Stein Werk Wachau 2021

'Domane Wachau: Craftmanship, terroir and precision. Craftsmanship, terroir, and precision are the key values of Domane Wachau under the leadership of Roman Horvath MW and Heinz Frischengruber. Respect for nature and the soil dominates the vignerons' hard work in the steep terraced vineyards. With over 160 hectares of organic vineyards, Domane Wachau is Austria's leading wine estate with organically cultivated vines. Organized into small parcels and worked mainly by hand, each vigneron cultivates less than two hectares of vines on average. The families have often passed down the craft over generations, producing a tremendous wealth of knowledge about their vineyards and an uncompromising focus on each individual plot. This is a next generation wine cooperative, as found nowhere else on Earth. Domane Wachau wines reflect their grand terroir and deliver an unmistakably puristic style, with both depth and freshness - partly spontaneously fermented and with minimal addition of sulfur. The Wachau offers ideal conditions for origin-driven wines from grand single vineyards such as Achleiten, Bruck, and Kellerberg. Winemaker Heinz Frischengruber knows every parcel personally. The vignerons harvest their terraced vineyards over multiple passes, exclusively by hand. No herbicides or pesticides are used. Based on these guiding principles, Domane Wachau is considered a sustainability pioneer for the entire region. '
