Reviews
The 2017 Riesling Smaragd "Terrassen" is pure, fresh and flinty, very clear and crystalline on the nose with well-concentrated white stone fruit aromas. Racy-piquant and fresh on the palate, this is a highly tensioned, tightly woven, pure and elegant Riesling with lingering salinity and stimulating astringency. A slew of white peaches and sliced pears here. Great crispness and vitality, combined with enough body to give very nice harmony, but not so much that it feels heavy. Drink now. Tasted in Wösendorf/Wachau, September 2018. ~92 WA
