Intense GV Smaragd, which perfectly balances fruitiness (juicy green and red apples, some grapefruit), spicyness (white pepper, herbs), minerals (salt, bitter almonds) and freshness (6.5 g/l TA vs 1.1 g/l RS).

Falstaff rated 95p, Parker 93p and it might get there, as this is currently very early drinking window.

Lovely Riesling Federspiel. Crisp, floral, citrus notes, a hint of sweetness to balance the acidity, easy-drinking. Good now, will hold several years. - 88 points

in Würde gereifter GV. Man merkt ihm das Alter nicht an. Gelbe Früchte, Pfeffer hintenraus. Mittlerer Körper, guter Abgang. Macht Spaß. Flasche war schnell leer.

2000 Freie Weingärtner Wachau / Domäne Wachau Grüner Veltliner Exceptional Reserve

A halbtrocken late-harvest Grüner Veltliner that was harvested on 12th of November, 2000, picked at 23,5° KMW (277 g/l sugar in must weight, ie. 17,3% potential alcohol). The wine was fermented until semi-dry, finishing at 15% alcohol and 10 g/l residual sugar.

Consistent with my previous tasting note: this is a humongous, heavy and slightly malty monster-Grüner. A white wine equivalent of a Riserva Amarone. Interesting, but not particularly drinkable. This is just way too much over-the-top. Exceptional stuff, nevertheless. Priced according to its quality at 28€.

3/26/2024 - Bolognese Diner Likes this wine: 90 points

Beautiful wine with a strong and intense character. Pale straw color, the nose opens with significant notes of white peach, apricot, plum, and almond. Light hints of exotic fruit and minerality. In the mouth, a great acidity stimulates salivation, projecting the wine for long seconds in its verticality on the palate. Aftertaste of peach tea.

Bellissimo vino dal carattere deciso e intenso. Colore paglierino scarico, al naso apre con note importanti di frutta pesca bianca, albicocca, susina e mandorla. Leggeri accenni di frutta esotica e mineralità. In bocca una gran bella acidità attiva la salivazione proiettando il vino per lunghi secondi nella sua verticalità nel palato. Retrogusto di tè alla pesca.

Very good, light lemon coour; clean and clear. nose: mineral (limestine) with vegetal notes (celery), later classci apple-lemon notes. . taste: high acidity; crisp, green apples and lemons give freshness. some chalky notes, medium (+) finish with lime, white grapefruit and limestone. Very dry and superfresh. No depth - rather minerality and frehness.

3/23/2024 - MosheDehsoM Likes this wine: 91 points

Nice and very intensive (acidity) Austrian (was bought last week in Wien duty free) Riesling.

Light bright clear lemon yellow color 👏

Light plus body. Very high acidity. Very mineral. Not very crispy. Long very sour ending.

Wonderfully aromatic, citrus, tropical fragrance, grass, green tree fruits 👏

Same on the palate: lemon, grapefruit, lime, green apple, peach, apricot, pineapple, kiwi, passion fruit, salt, honey, stone, earthy notes. Quite intensive wine.

I loved it, despite the high acidity.

Cheers 🥂🥂

VC Wednesday night group (Ypsilanti, MI): Some sulfur but it's gentle and integrated. Classic gruner phenolic presence providing both grip and pleasant bitterness on the finish. Very good.

Trocken, schöner, blumiger Duft, den ich blind zwischen Rieling und Muskateller einordnen würde. Naturnahe, aber kein typischer "Natural". Grün-gelbe Farbe mit leichter Trübung und schöner Frische im Duft und am Gaumen. Wunderbar zu gebratenen Garnelen, trocken aber blumig im Gesamteindruck. Schön zu trinkender Wein, mit € 17,- vernünftig bepreist. Würde ich aber ab jetzt bis in ca. 2 Jahren trinken.

Bu en succ.
Super beau GV, bien frais et digeste.
Sur les pommes vertes, les épices et les herbes.
Il y a aussi belle acidité et minéralité.
La finale bien longue est fort soutenue et salivante.
EXCELLENT.
Infos:
Grande coopérative de vignerons de la région viticole de la Wachau
en Basse-Autriche, basée à Dürnstein, qui a été fondée en 1938
sous le nom de "Winzergenossenschaft Wachau" par l'achat de
l'ancien vignoble de la famille Starhemberg. En 1990, il a été
rebaptisé "Freie Weingärtner Wachau" et fonctionne depuis 2008
sous le nouveau nom de "Domäne Wachau". Johann Martin a été
élu nouveau président lors de l'assemblée générale de 2009.
Le directeur général est Mag. Roman Horvath (Master of Wine).
Heinz Frischengruber est responsable de l'œnologie. La philosophie
est la suivante : Le Domäne Wachau s'efforce d'obtenir le caractère
d'origine le plus authentique dans ses vins. La Wachau et les grands
sites ou vignobles individuels doivent être exprimés de manière
précise et claire. Il est également important d'avoir un fruit long
et stable, qui se transforme ensuite, après quelques années,
dans le cas de vins de qualité appropriée, en notes de maturité
complexes. La haute aptitude à la conservation des Smaragden
sélectionnés est un objectif explicite de la vinification par cette
approche. L'ensemble du processus de production est réalisé selon
les critères de durabilité certifiés de Nachhaltig Austria.
Domäne Wachau a fait partie des pères fondateurs du Vinea Wachau
Nobilis Districtus avec les niveaux de qualité Steinfeder, Federspiel
et Smaragd en 1983 avec le directeur Willi Schwengler. Les meilleurs
vins sont le Smaragde à vignoble unique de Grüner Veltliner et le
Riesling, ainsi que les vins doux (surtout le Riesling TBA Kellerberg).
Des vins datant de 1947 sont conservés dans les vastes archives.
En 1999, Domäne Wachau a été le premier producteur de vin
autrichien à remporter le titre d'"International Winery of the Year"
décerné par Wine & Spirit. Environ 2,5 millions de bouteilles de vin
sont produites chaque année. Dans la distillerie interne, Grüner
Veltliner est doublement distillé et mûrit pendant des années dans
de petits fûts en bois. Le produit supérieur s'appelle "XA22".

This wine needs a solid dish, as the acid can be a bit poorly integrated on its own

Discount smaragd! Although they generally come from the best historical single plots, Domane Wachau calls this a "village level" blend from several different sites. They’re able/willing to do this because they’re a growers co-op that owns 30% of all vineyards in the Wachau. Thus the amazing QPR.

Anyways…Great nose on this—white flowers, lime, celery and fennel. Very high acidity food friendly wine

From magnum. White peach, fresh yellow apple. Needs air, opens after one hour. Nice fruit on the palate, but acid is only partly integrated. I'll try again in 3 - 5 years.
