  1. Description
Riesling of single vineyard Achleiten is characterized by reduced yields due to the shallow topsoil. It is very aromatic, juicy stone fruit aromas, such as apricot and a touch of vineyard peach. The gneiss soil of the Achleiten leads to a classy firm acidity. The term Smaragd stands for dry, dense, and complex wines of the Wachau: Apart from structure and depth, Smaragd wines also convince with great ageing potential. Well chilled, the wine goes well with veal and noble poultry (pigeon, quail) or with spicy cheeses and intense fish dishes.

Expert review:
Vivino
The Riesling fruit comes through strongly, with intense citrus aromas, and an assertive attack that's very dry. It's not a fleshy style, but it has extract and minerality. It's not very expressive now, so needs time. There's tension and persistence but at present it's austere.
