Wachau Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Achleiten

2017

James Suckling 92: Lots of candied lemon-peel character, plus notes of green pepper and sliced sushi ginger, make this a distinctive Wachau grüner veltliner. For a 2017, the power is rather restrained and you barely feel the high alcohol content. Generous but dry finish. Drink or hold.

2021

Wine Advocate 93+: Clear, fresh and with cool, spicy aromatics on the nose, the 2021 Ried Achleiten Grüner Veltliner Smaragd is juicy and elegant on the palate with hints of iodine. With a compact and persistent structure and fine, crystalline acidity, this is an intensely juicy and aromatic Veltliner with a salty, spicy, extremely stimulating finish.
