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: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
