Gattinger Grüner Veltliner Smaragd is an excellent white wine from the Wachau region in Austria, produced by the family business Weingut Gattinger. This winery is known for its commitment to quality and its traditional approach combined with modern winemaking techniques. The term "Smaragd" refers to the highest quality category in the Wachau, indicating that this wine comes from the best grapes and has a ripe, concentrated style.

Gattinger's vineyards are located on steep terraces along the Danube, with soils of loess and gneiss that contribute to the minerality and complexity of the wines. The grapes for the Grüner Veltliner Smaragd are carefully harvested by hand when they are perfectly ripe, resulting in a wine with deep concentration and intensity.

In the glass, the Gattinger Grüner Veltliner Smaragd has a radiant, golden yellow color. The nose is expressive and complex, with aromas of ripe peach, apricot and green apple, complemented by nuances of white pepper, herbs and a subtle floral touch. This aromatic richness is a characteristic of the Smaragd wines, which are known for their full and concentrated scent.

When tasting, the wine offers a full and rich experience. The acidity is lively and perfectly balanced with the ripe fruity flavors, making for a refreshing and well-structured wine. On the palate, the wine reveals layers of juicy peach, ripe apple, citrus fruits and a hint of tropical fruit, supported by mineral undertones and a characteristic spiciness of white pepper. The texture is full and creamy, with a long, complex finish that ends with lingering minerality and a hint of spice.
