2019 Familie Saahs Nikolaihof im Weingebirge Smaragd Gruner Veltliner, Wachau, Austria Niederösterreich Vinification: Stainless steelThought to be the oldest documented vineyard, the name Im Weingebirge dates back to the 5th Century. The wines from this vineyard are known to have impressive depth and minerality. The soil is varied with loess on the higher terraces and deep topsoil over primary rock lower down the slope. The wine ages on its lees in old barrels, giving creamy texture.
