The wine region of Wachau

Austrian jewel of racy whites on Danube terraces (35 km): signature Grüner Veltliner as white king — full-bodied and peppery with notes of citrus, green apple, lentil, stone fruit and a peppery mineral touch, taut acidity. Taut, tropical Riesling on gneiss (gföhler) with notes of apricot, peach, citrus and racy minerality — great ageing. Steinfeder/Federspiel/Smaragd classification. Vertiginous slopes, loess and gneiss.


The wine region of Weinland

Vast German-speaking region in north-eastern Switzerland, the country's largest production area. Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder): fine, fresh reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and sweet spices, silky tannins. Elegant, delicate style, often barrel-aged. Also light, floral Müller-Thurgau (Riesling-Sylvaner), lively, lemony native Räuschling, ample Pinot Gris.

The word of the wine: Ample

Said of a generous wine with a rich body that gives an impression of fullness in the mouth.
