Grüner Veltliner with a difference. Our homage to the versatility of the grape variety: Grüner Veltliner classically spritzed with Wachau brandy.
VDN stands for "Veltliner Doux Naturel" in reference to the southern French "Vin Doux Naturel".
Very open and accessible on the nose, warm fruit, dried herbs, smoky tobacco notes, enormously complex. Powerful and dense on the palate, strong and elegant body, stimulating to drink thanks to the very balanced residual sweetness with a refreshing acidity; very typical of the grape variety; extremely long-lasting. Ideally chilled, straight from the fridge, the V.D.N. is perfect as an aperitif, but also as a special end to a meal. As an accompaniment to food, the wine is a trump card with a variety of cheeses, from fresh sheep's cheese to red smear, matured hard cheese and blue cheese.
The grapes for the Grüner Veltliner VDN are harvested by hand in Smaragd quality. After a maceration period, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation is stopped by adding Wachau Veltliner brandy at around 60% with a final residual sugar content of approx. 90g. This gives the wine a fine sweetness combined with a powerful body and elegant spiciness. The wine is stored in wooden barrels on the fine lees until May to give it additional complexity.

The winery on the Kellerberg in the Wachau.
Domäne Wachau has developed into one of the most important wineries in Austria with a variety of typical Wachau wines under the management of Roman Horvath MW and Heinz Frischengruber. The small plots on the steep terraces along the Danube are painstakingly cultivated by hand by the winegrowing families, the heroes of the estate. Craftsmanship, sustainability and the unique biodiversity are elementary pillars of the work in the vineyards. Grapes from world-famous vineyards such as Achleiten, Kellerberg and Singerriedel are vinified.
The Wachau wine region is a renowned wine growing area in Austria that stretches along the Danube River. It is located in the region of Lower Austria and covers an area of about 1,350 hectares. The Wachau is known for its steep terraced vineyards and its poor soils, which give the grapes their characteristic aroma.
The Wachau produces mainly white wines from the grape varieties Grüner Veltliner and Riesling are cultivated. These wines are known for their high quality and varied aromas, ranging from fruity to mineral. Due to the cool climate and the high altitude of the vineyards, the grapes ripen slowly and thus develop an intense aroma.
Another characteristic of the Wachau is its wine terraces and the historic wine villages, which are located in the middle of vineyards. The viticultural culture of the Wachau is of great importance and is carefully cultivated by the winegrowers in the region. The grape harvest here is often done by hand to ensure optimal quality of the grapes.
The Wachau is also a popular tourist destination, as the vineyards and villages provide a picturesque backdrop. Wine tastings and cellar tours are very popular here to taste the wines of the region and learn more about viticulture in the Wachau.
