2017 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 very special attention to Singerriedel, and have beeen rebuilding the stone terraces here 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. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured in neutral oak barrels. Alcohol 14%; Residual Sugar 2.9g/L; Total Acidity 6.8g/L.

Totally pristine and refined with a weightless quality, in spite of the full, exotic-fruit aromas and enormous concentration on the palate, where the high acidity is already beautifully integrated and the wet-stone finish is extremely long and exciting. Drink or hold.
