The wine

Federspiel Grüner from two precipitous hectares of schist above the Danube. A fabulous, concentrated wine: apple and lime combine with white pepper, cardamom and spicy minerality, balanced and refreshing to the last drop. Tiny-production Wachau at a very fair fare; schnitzel is the classic, asparagus the spring treat.

The producer

Johann Donabaum farms just two hectares of family vines clinging to the precipitous, schistous slopes of the Spitzer Valley in the Wachau, and from them has carved a formidable reputation over twenty-five years. Yields are kept incredibly low, production is minuscule, and demand always outruns supply, yet his prices remain remarkably fair.

His philosophy is purity. Where many Austrian growers pick a proportion of botrytised grapes for added richness, Johann believes this distracts from his exceptional terroir; his Federspiel wines are elegant, defined and precise, and they age superbly. He farms sustainably under the Vinea Wachau certification, and the awards and rave reviews keep arriving. Wachau wine from a true grower's grower; drink it with schnitzel, river fish or unreasonable smugness.
