Prager

Klaus Smaragd Riesling 2011

2011 vintage. Light golden hue. Mineral, chalky, peaches and stone fruits to the fore. Quite ripe. On the palate, dry (probably more than 4g of residual but acidity masks the sugar), medium plus body,high alcohol, high extract, long and persistent finish and huge refreshing, tangy acidity, especially on the finish. Peaches and apricots, lemon zest from the acidity, crisp and long textured wine with real weight. Love it. More similar to an Alsatian Riesling than a Mosel/Rheingau Riesling, and although weighty, no noticeable TDN notes or lime juice zest of a High Eden or Clare Valley Aussie Riesling. — 11 years ago

Very nice dark fruits, rich berry and tannin and then POP! Where did all that grapefruit come from?! Blends very nicely and a pleasant surprise at $10 — 10 years ago

Such a good wine from such a great producer. Visit the winery, he has a tasting room overlooking the wonderful hell rock. So tasty! Like licking river stone.
