Singerriedel Smaragd Riesling 2018

Wow! Exploding with tropical fruits but with a flinty/smokey mineral backbone. Have had these older but this was better younger — 4 days ago

Powerful aromas, ripe black fruits. Light and fruity in the palate with a surprise smokiness. Some of the natural wine comes through on the nose and palate, but not overpowering. Very drinkable! Perfect pairing with our Christmas Eve Austrian Dinner! — 4 months ago

Steiner Kékfrankos 2016

Beautifully aromatic nose, probably starting the best phase right now.
Black cherry with some damson plum, a nice cedar wood note and a healthy dose of spices. Fresh, relatively cool, with stony minerality. Quite distinct and with very little iron or earthy aromas. Enticing.
On the palate this is the finest black sour cherry juice with some plum and a pinch of exotic spice (cloves, allspice, cinnamon, pepper). Beautiful juicy acidity, tannins polished & perfectly integrated. Fresh, sappy, so drinkable. The iron note appears in the very long, mineral finish.
This is singing right now! Delicious stuff!
Wish I had more bottles of this!!

Kirchweg Smaragd Grüner Veltliner 2018

Viognier-esque bitterness, Riesling-esque fruit, Burgundy minerality. A chameleon but still quintessential Gruner. The toffee notes and golden hue screams Smaragd. — 2 months ago
