Domäne Wachau Wines

Sort By:

Domäne Wachau 2007 Achleiten Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

Cellar Selection

Price $47

This is a fine expression of truly mineral Riesling. The wine’s acidity is powerful, but so is its rich peach, green plum fruit laced with pink grapefruit. It needs time, at least 4–5 years. — R.V. (10/1/2008)

Domäne Wachau 2007 Achleiten Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)

Price $39

The tough rocks of the Achleiten vineyard come through in this intense wine. It has grapefruit, citrus and vivid acidity, while the Grüner’s pepper character just shows through as a touch on the tongue. Fine wine, very structured. — R.V. (10/1/2008)

Domäne Wachau 2009 Singerriedel Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

Price $46

Singerriedel is at the western end of the Wachau; it’s normally relatively cool, although not in 2009 as shown by this delicious, rich wine. The fruit is bright and lively, the only hint of richness being the spicy edge to the final flavor. — R.V. (10/1/2010)

Domäne Wachau 2009 Kellerberg Trockenbeerenauslese Riesling (Wachau)

Price $60

Classic honey and lemon flavors are so fresh despite the liquorous texture that this is like drinking an elixir. The botrytis dryness is still developing and now the wine shows the most wonderful primary fruit flavor. — R.V. (10/1/2010)

Domäne Wachau 2007 Singerriedl Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

Price $47

The cool climate Singerriedl gives this wine its intense mineral structure, crisp grapefruit and tight apple acidity, and its wonderful green freshness. The year was cool, the wine is cool, but the combination works. — R.V. (10/1/2008)

Domäne Wachau 2007 Kellerberg Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)

Price $39

From the Kellerberg vineyard, this is a powerfully rich wine, with its cream and nutmeg flavors complemented by creamed baked apples. There is strong pepper and spice character here. — R.V. (10/1/2008)

Domäne Wachau 2005 Loibenberg Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

Price $33

Richness and complete dryness go together in this impressive wine. It is very juicy, with some tropical fruit flavors, along with white fruits, but there is also a touch of minerality that gives the wine shape. — R.V. (10/1/2006)

Domäne Wachau 2009 Achleiten Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

Price $46

A rich style of wine, with a smooth and velvet texture that brings out a creamy character. There is freshness from green apple and peach juice flavors, the acidity a great counterpoint to the ripe fruits. — R.V. (10/1/2010)
