How has irrigation improved quality in the Wachau?
Allowed since 1983
Much of the Wachau are on volcanic soils, which retain heat but drain quickly. This stunted vine growth during hot summers and led to under ripeness even in the warmest vintages
60
Typical Wachau winemaking style.
1. Destemmed.
2. Temp-controlled stainless ferments are popular - but some like Knoll use neutral barrel.
3. a little skin contact or extended lees aging add texture
