Franz Hirtzberger Riesling Smaragd Ried Singerriedel trocken 2021

Falstaff: Helles Grüngelb, Silberreflexe. Frische gelbe Tropenfrucht, ein Hauch von Mango und Maracuja, feine Noten von weißen Blüten, ein Hauch von Limetten, ein Pfauenrad von Aromen, sehr verführerisch. Saftig, stoffig und elegant, feine Steinobstnuancen, finessenreich strukturiert, dezente Fruchtsüße, mineralisch-zitronig im Abgang, bleibt sehr lange haften, strahlender Stil, Potenzial für Jahrzehnte. 100/100 (2022)

James Suckling: This very concentrated and ripe, yet poised dry riesling has a huge spectrum of fruit aromas, with all the colors of stone fruit, plus mandarin-orange and papaya notes. Super-juicy, yet so delicate, the wet-stone minerality giving this stunning freshness that has nothing to do with the acidity, which is so beautifully interwoven into the super-silky picture. 97/100 (2022)

Wine Spectator: This has a voluptuous display of warm apple, ripe apricot and chamomile tea, all tempered by a flash of saline and bitter almond skin. Beautifully textured and harmonious, with a framework that nicely supports the lush, opulent fruit profile and weight. Reveals smoke and mineral accents that play out on the persistent finish. Drink now through 2035. 95/100 (2023)
