91pts Gruner Veltliner 2023 Domane Wachau Federspiel Terrassen Vineyards

James Suckling Awarded 91-Point Gem from Austria’s Premier Wine Region
Discover Domane Wachau’s 2023 Grüner Veltliner – a crisp Austrian white wine celebrated for its vibrant acidity and layered fruit character. Hailing from UNESCO-protected terraced vineyards along Austria’s Danube River Valley (Wachau), this benchmark varietal showcases zesty citrus aromas intertwined with green apple freshness and subtle white pepper spice on the nose.

The palate delivers a harmonious balance of juicy peach notes and mineral-driven complexity, framed by refreshing acidity that lingers gracefully into a spicy-citrus finish. Crafted by master winemakers who prioritize sustainable viticulture in Austria’s most prestigious white wine region, this medium-bodied dry white wine pairs exceptionally well with seafood dishes like grilled salmon or oysters Rockefeller – as well as creamy pasta carbonara or goat cheese salads – thanks to its versatile flavor profile and balanced structure.

With its moderate 12.5% ABV and food-friendly profile, this Wachau Gruner Veltliner is ideal for both casual sipping and special occasions that demand an elevated yet approachable Austrian white wine experience.*
