97 Riesling Smaragd Singerriedel 2016<br />

Medium green-yellow with silver highlights. Fresh peach and<br />

yellow tropical fruit reminiscent of mango with a touch of<br />

minerals and apricot in the background. Concentrated and<br />

highly elegant with pleasant fruit sweetness bedded in a<br />

silky texture and framed in a fine acid structure. Delicate and<br />

seductive. Already offering abundant drinking pleasure, but<br />

unfortunately available only in limited quantities.<br />

97 Riesling Smaragd Ried Hochrain 2017<br />

95 Riesling Smaragd Hochrain 2016<br />

Medium green-yellow with silver highlights. Fresh yellow<br />

vineyard peach and a tropical fruit nuance reminiscent of<br />

guava are wrapped in a discreet veil of blossom honey.<br />

Concentrated white stone fruit flavours are framed in<br />

chiselled structure that imparts a delicate and filigree<br />

impression. This multifaceted accompaniment to food is<br />

already offering abundant drinking pleasure.<br />

96 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Honivogl 2016<br />

Medium green-yellow with silver highlights. Fine pineapple<br />

fruit, a touch of mango, delicate meadow herbs and<br />

fine mandarin nuances comprise a multifaceted bouquet.<br />

Ripe quince and a touch of apricot are elegantly lifted<br />

with a vibrant acid structure. Pleasant fruit sweetness<br />

and juicy acid linger long on the aftertaste. Superb ageing<br />

potential.<br />
