2013 Franz Hirtzberger Riesling Singerriedel Smaragd
Franz Hirtzberger
One of the best vineyards in the Wachau valley, the Singerriedel rises steeply right behind Weingut Hirtzberger. We pay a very special attention to Singerriedel, and have beeen rebuilding the stone terraces here already for 20 years. The reason for our great efforts is the extreme minerality of the soil, comprising gneiss, mica, schist and other primary rocks. This unique terroir provides us with the foundation for our greatest Riesling Smaragd.

Franz Hirtzberger's 2013 Riesling Smaragd Singerriedel is classic! Very precise, complex and concentrated on the fresh, elegant and transparent, more-mineral-than-fruity nose. Intense and concentrated on the palate, this full-bodied legend is also vibrant, piquant, very elegant and provided with a long and mineral finish. Expensive, but great and unique as always.
