While this finely crafted wine certainly has some richness, it brings out a cool, poised character, lightly aromatic. Currants and spicy citrus offer delicious crispness. Worth aging for 3–4 years.

Josef Gritsch’s vineyards are in Spitz at the western, cool end of the Wachau. So although this a richer, Smaragd style of wine, it is still crisp, cool and fresh. The green fruits dominate, with just a hint of sweeter spiced pineapple.
