Domäne Wachau Riesling Smaragd Ried Achleiten 2020 瓦皓莊園 奥艾赫莱婷 雷司令晚收干白葡萄酒

Domäne Wachau is, as the name suggests, deeply rooted in the Wachau region. Close to 440 hectares of vineyards are cultivated by the members of this quality-oriented cooperative, which accounts for 30 percent of the entire Wachau vineyard area. Domäne Wachau’s vineyards are found on steep terraces reinforced by old, dry-stone walls and are part of a World Cultural Heritage. Famous names like ‘Achleiten’, ‘Kollmitz’, ‘Loibenberg’ and ‘Tausend-Eimer-Berg’ are found on the Domäne Wachau’s vineyard map, making it the only winery in Wachau with wines from all of the most prestigious sites in the region.

Tasting Note: A gentle hint of ripe tangerine peel immediately hits the nose. With more air, this unfolds to include notions of ripe blood orange and Mandarin, too. The palate comes in with steely concentration that speaks as much of absolute freshness as of glorious ripeness. The flavors are pristine, contoured by immense raciness. There is something steely and stony at the very core that radiates utter freshness. Drink by 2050.

奧地利的Domäne Wachau瓦皓莊園，是個高品質的葡萄農合作社，坐落在美麗的中世紀小鎮，在瓦皓山谷中的古城 Dürnstein。葡萄酒窖的建造是根據十七世紀的巴洛克風格，至今持續提供這些有年份及價值的葡萄酒完好的儲酒環境。

這個合作社由超過 200 個葡萄農所組成，他們共同以種植出高品質的葡萄為信念，並將釀酒的工作交給酒莊完成。這個酒莊也培育出許多當前奧地利最重要的釀酒師，例如 Schloss Gobelsburg的 Michael Moosbrugger與 Stadt Krems的 Fritz Miesbauer。現任釀酒師 Heinz Frischengruber也延續這樣的精神，持續釀出更好的葡萄酒。

在瓦皓莊園的葡萄酒釀造方法是盡量保存最理想的風土條件。越少人為介入越好，『忠實表現瓦皓谷地所給予我們的素材』，就是瓦皓莊園釀酒的信條。這些酒既展現出深度跟個性，但又同時能愉悅飲用。有個性的果香味與細緻的礦石風味就是瓦皓莊園的獨特風格。
