Wachau Gruner Veltliner Federspiel ‘Terrassen’ is a delightfully fresh and zesty Austrian white wine with a subtly herbal quality.

Gruner Veltliner is no longer the obscure Austrian cousin of Riesling but is, in fact, a fashionable and unique variety with a personality all of its own. In some circles, it is even nicknamed ‘Gru-Ve’ (those of a certain generation will understand!).

Joking aside, this is a very serious wine indeed. Headed up by Master of Wine Roman Horvath, this dynamic co-operative cultivates around a third of all the vineyards in the Wachau region. It acts as a model for sustainable winemaking and grower collaboration. With a dedication to making wines of origin and purity, the Domane Wachau wines focus on freshness, balance and sheer drinkability.

Federspiel wines have a maximum alcohol content of 12.5% and Chaptalisation is strictly forbidden. The vines grow on the classical Lenz Moser-trellis system and producers harvest by hand. Gentle pressing, sedimentation overnight, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel define the vinification process. A moderate reductive treatment then guarantees a fresh and fruity, yet well-structured wine.

Wachau Gruner Veltliner Federspiel ‘Terrassen’ offers distinctive aromas of green apple and white pepper. It also displays hints of mango, balanced with delicate herbal notes. This Federspiel is a traditional example of Gruner Veltliner with its medium-body, crisp acidity, juicy fruits and then white spice on the finish.
