WINE DESCRIPTION
Domäne Wachau Federspiel Riesling is sourced from small, terraced vineyards in the Wachau region of Austria. The grapes were handpicked from the vineyards surrounding Spitz, Dürnstein and Weissenkirchen. The grapes were sorted and then pressed, with the must fermented under controlled temperature and aged on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks. The decision to use eschew oak through the fermentation ensures the wine retains its purity, delicate aromatics and freshness.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domäne Wachau Federspiel Riesling shimmers in the glass with a pale straw color.It shows delicate aromas of citrus fruits, particularly lemon and lime, along with hints of green apple and white flowers. On the palate, the wine displays a refreshing, steely acidity that is well-balanced with its light to medium body. The flavors of zesty lemon and lime continue to dominate, accompanied by notes of honey and a touch of minerality. The wine's crisp and clean finish shows good purity and focus.
