Tasting notes

Deep yellow colour. Intense and ripe nose. Honey, lightly tropical notes, stoney and loads of minerality. Powerful and dry Riesling in the mouth. Lots of ripe fruits. Honey and tropical elements. Yet this remains mineral in it’s approach with huge depth and lots of interest. It is a almost violently overwhelming wine with good acidity that perhaps comes a bit in the background in the balance. Good length. Really a great Wachau Riesling smaragd from this vintage. A huge success.
