Note di degustazione
The 2015 Kellerberg Grüner Veltliner Smaragd offers an intensely aromatic bouquet of ripe and stewed fruits. Bottled at 14% alcohol, this is an opulent, round and elegant Kellerberg with delicate acidity, stunning purity and finesse on the palate. The finish is salty, revealing fine tannins, and brings back the rich, lush and super ripe fruit. Indian curries could be the perfect match for it now, but I'd prefer to cellar this Kellerberg for a couple of years.

Pink grapefruit and papaya, lime, quince and pineapple inform one of the rare Domäne Wachau wines of this collection whose forwardly ripe fruitiness genuinely screams “2015!” These elements combine for a luscious, glycerol-rich, expansive midpalate nevertheless possessed of ample primary juiciness. The finish, though, is slightly diffuse and wanting a bit for site-typical or indeed varietally typical flavors. Perhaps this would have been better if picked slightly sooner. Having reached 13.9 percent alcohol, it’s an outlier in the present collection, though thankfully, there is no corresponding heat or roughness. Perhaps the wine will gain clarity post-bottling.
