Domane Wachau Ried Achleiten Smaragd Riesling

Pale straw in colour. A gentle hint of ripe tangerine peel immediately hits the bouquet, this unfolds to include aromas of ripe blood orange and mandarin, too. The palate comes in with steely concentration that speaks as much of absolute freshness as of glorious ripeness. The notes are pristine, contoured by immense raciness. There is something steely and stony at the very core that radiates utter freshness on the finish.
