Wachau - Riesling Terrassen Federspie
Origin: Austria - Wachau | Variety: Riesling | Producer: Domäne Wachau
Domäne Wachau is one of Austria's most renowned wineries, based in Austria's most prestigious wine growing region, the Wachau. Steep terraced yineyards, a cool, marginal climate and meagre primary rock soils define the wines. ?Federspiel" stands for dry, medium bodied and elegantly balanced wines of the Wachau.
Terrassen
The "Terrassen" wines are blended from various steep terraced vineyards throughout the Wachau valley and offer a perfect introduction to the unique wine style of the Wachau.

Tasting Note
Bright straw yellow with green highlights. Showing fragrant grapefruit and apricot aromas underlined by hints of exotic fruit. Mouthwatering apricot aromas on the palate with an elegant structure. The racy acidity is perfectly balanced by the abundant fruit and depth of aromas.
How to enjoy best
Serve well chilled at 9°C - directly from the fridge. A sophisticated food wine! Perfectly accompanies light fish dishes, soups, poultry, prosciutto, salads and vegetable dishes. Best enjoyed within the next 2 years.
NV
Bernard Pertois Brut "Cuvee de Reserve"
paired with mango salad and was excellent. Great when paired with food versus drinking on its own.
