“The 2023 Riesling Hochrain Smaragd is, atypically, planted in loess in this vineyard, a subparcel of the Axpoint site. Planted in the 1950s, this made sense this far west in the Wachau, when Riesling would not have ripened at higher altitudes. The nose shows the juiciest apricot, followed by superbly fragrant citrus peel and foliage, majoring on tangerine. The palate is ripe, juicy, bursting with tangerine juiciness and channeled ripeness. The 2023 is incredibly animating, super-juicy and a total citrus party in the glass. This is a Riesling to convince skeptics with. (Bone-dry) - By Anne Krebiehl MW on May 2024”
