Wine Description
The Story
Grapes for our Single Vineyard wines are sourced from the most famous steeply terraced plots of the Wachau like Loibenberg, Kellerberg, Achleiten, Kollmitz, Kaiserberg, Hochrain, 1000-Eimer-Berg, Setzberg, Bruck and Singerriedel. These internationally sought flagship wines are strictly limited and express the uniqueness of each individual terroir.
Ried Kaiserberg
“Kaiserberg” (the “emperor’s hill”) was the ancient campground of emperor Charlemange who banished the Avars from the Wachau around 800 AD. The vineyard is situated west of Dürnstein. Wines from Kaiserberg are renowned for their superb overall balance and their classical mineral character.
Tasting Note
Along with its lively yellow colour and green glow, there is a succession of intense aromas including apple, subtle hints of stone fruit and smoky tobacco spices as well as elegant tropical fruits. In the mouth it is a well-balanced, fresh wine with lively acidity, flavorful fruit and well-structured salty character causing it to linger on the palate.
How to enjoy best
Serve chilled at about 9°C. Drink now or store to mature for two or three years. Perfectly accompanies traditional Austrian cuisine as well as spicy Asian-inspired dishes. A versatile accompaniment, the Kaiserberg is the perfect accompaniment to many types of cheese or light fish dishes.
