A crystalline expression of Wachau Riesling, this 2018 Hochrain Smaragd offers lifted notes of yellow stone fruit and mandarin zest with a whisper of floral perfume, all cast in an elegant, finely chiselled frame of layered extract and poised energy. The texture is silky, the fruit precise, driven by a tensile acidity that carries through to a long, seamless finish.
