An aristocratic expression of Wachau Riesling, this 2019 Singerriedel Smaragd by Franz Hirtzberger unfolds layers of vineyard peach, orange zest and lime framed by crystalline mineral structure and a taut, mouthcoating texture drawn from its steep gneiss terraces. The wine carries majestic depth with a poised acidity and all the promise of serious cellaring.
