The grapes for the Riesling Amphora come from terraced vineyards. The unique interplay of the warm Pannonian climate and the barren primary rock soils produces unmistakable Wachau wines with powerful elegance.
Intense and penetrating on the nose, delicate beeswax, honeydew melon and rich exoticism. Very complex and dense on the palate, a combination of fine tannins and racy acidity with stone fruit and dark chocolate. Dense, lots of pressure, astringent,
multi-layered and extremely long-lasting. An extraordinary and perhaps unusual tasting experience. Ideal chilled, fresh from the fridge, best enjoyed solo. However, the Riesling Amphora is also a versatile food companion.

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 region in Austria, which stretches along the Danube. 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 vineyards, which are laid out on terraces, as well as for their barren soils, which give the grapes their characteristic aroma.
In the Wachau, white wines are mainly produced from Grüner Veltliner and Riesling grown, these wines are known for their high quality and varied aromas ranging from fruity to mineral. Due to the cool climate and high altitude of the vineyards, the grapes ripen slowly and develop an intense aroma.
Another feature of the Wachau are its wine terraces and the historic wine villages, which lie in the middle of vineyards. The wine culture of the Wachau is of great importance and is carefully maintained by the winemakers in the region. The harvest is often done by hand to ensure an optimal quality of the grapes.
The Wachau is also a popular tourist destination, as the vineyards and villages offer a picturesque backdrop. Wine tastings and cellar tours are very popular here to taste the region’s wines and learn more about winemaking in the Wachau.
