Star bright pale gold with green highlights. Abundant and inviting nose of citrus rind and mineral. Medium bodied palate yields lemon rind, cement, and lily bud. High acidity entry to finish. Austria’s signature variety from Austria’s premier wine region gives its best showing in this bottle. Pair with practically any white wine food, including (famously) asparagus or Brussels sprouts. Drink now through 2029. — 5 years ago

Bright Meyer lemon 🍋, limestone, and salinity. Very light petrol nose, with a touch of sweetness on the finish. My kind of dry Riesling. Wachau FTW. — 6 years ago

I love this wine, a long, crispy, fruity wine. It loiters on the palette and has such great depth. Perfect to drink on its own, or with Fish, salads pasta. For the price I think it stands out from the competition. — 11 years ago

This is the Smaragd. Star bright yellow gold. Abundant nose of yellow apple and stony white flowers. Echoed on the medium light palate adding white pepper and citrus rind. Throw in firm acidity and it’s an excellent wine for a wide range of foods; especially appropriate with pork or seafood dishes. Drink now or hold through 2029. — 5 years ago

A fresh, fruity nose with notes of lemon, grapefruit and pineapple and mango. On the palate the wine is light, crisp and very dry. Juicy flavors of lemon fill the palate with refreshing stone notes and lush, bright acidity. The finish is long and crisp. A perfect afternoon sipper. — 9 years ago

For me this ticks all the boxes for good quality GV. It's fresh, pure, varietally accurste with the nice peppery bite on the end. This has slight sweetness from the fruit that might not fit the purist view but for.me it just makes this more food friendly. Good stuff! — 6 years ago

Pale lemon color. Pronounced aromas of lemon zest, white peach, melon, blossom, flint, brioche (lees or oak?). Still developing. High acidity, medium plus body, pronounced flavor of lemon zest, white peach, a hint of white pepper, wet stones and brioche.
Very good wine, balanced, intense and complex. Can drink now, but has a potential for aging. — 8 years ago
