The Johann Donabaum Spitzer Point Smaragd, a splendid 2007 Gruner Veltliner, is a remarkable representation of the Wachau region's unique terroir. This white wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, exhibiting a bright and lively acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of citrus, green apple, and subtle stone fruit notes that dance harmoniously on the tongue. Its dry nature enhances the overall freshness, making it extremely food-friendly, pairing beautifully with a variety of dishes. With a delightful minerality and a touch of spice, this well-structured wine reflects the expertise of its winemaker and the rich winemaking heritage of the Wachau, leaving a lasting impression that invites another sip.

Austria may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of quality wine, but this slice of central Europe is home to crisp whites and elegant reds that are well worth seeking out. While many classic grapes are grown here, there are exceptional wines made from varieties you rarely see anywhere else, such as white Grüner Veltliner. Spicy and herbaceous, this wine combines notes of white pepper and asparagus with flint and apple. As for reds, the most planted is Zweigelt. This grape is a hybrid of two other local varietals: the spicy Blaufränkisch and light St. Laurent. It combines the best of both worlds with flavors of chocolate, black pepper and fresh raspberry.
