Gemischter Satz 'Uralt-Reben' Smaragd 2021 Domaine Wachau

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (92)

From roughly 80-year-old vines in the single-vineyard Ried Vorderseiber, the 2021 Gemischter Satz Uralt-Reben Smaragd is based on at least 10 grapes varieties planted in the mid-1920s as a field blend. The bouquet is clear, bright and aromatic as well as intense and well concentrated, intertwining ripe, white fruit aromas with saline notes of crushed rocks. Round, elegant and savory on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, tightly structured but stimulating, grippy Wachau DAC with good structure and salinity on the finish. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2022.
