Smaragd is the name for the best, most treasured wines from the Vinea Wachau-members. The alcohol content of these wines begin at 12.5% by volume. This, along with the highest grape ripeness and natural concentration are what make this world-class designation possible. Emerald-coloured Idex lizards – also known as Smaragd - are at home in the terraced vineyards of the Wachau. On bright, sunny days, their beauty is highlighted dramatically as they bask in the gleaming sun next to the grapevines – the perfect symbol for the absolute top Wachau wines with full physiological ripeness.

    wine description:

    The "Schütt" has a long winemaking tradition and was already mentioned in documents in the 13th century. Today, it is one of the best-known vineyard sites in the Wachau, offering a magnificent view over the Danube. It is a cone of stream debris that gives the site its name, located at the mouth of the Menthalgraben, a side valley that carries water, sand and scree towards the Danube during heavy rainfall.

    vineyard:

    Riede Schütt. The vineyard was formed on a stream debris cone at the end of the Menthalgraben trench. The vineyard was already documented in 1289, the name clearly referring to the geological origins of this vineyard, through which the border between the cadastral communes of Dürnstein and Unterloiben also runs.

    Soil:

    Deep gneiss weathering material, with excellent drainage properties thanks to the low fine earth fraction, forms the basis for unsurpassed quality, even in difficult years.

    Selective hand-picking in several steps.
