Very cool and crystalline with a ton of white peaches and citrusy acidity driving the long, radically mineral finish. Long aging potential. Drink or hold.
From a steep and terraced vineyard with decomposed gneiss soils, the 2017 Ried Steinertal Grüner Veltliner Smaragd is very clear and intense on the fruit-driven, slightly tropical but also flinty-scented nose. Powerful, intense and lush on the palate, this is a full-bodied but fine and elegant, well-structured and minerally Veltliner with good tannin grip and a persistent finish. Tasted in Oberloiben/Wachau, September 2018.
