From 50-year-old vines on deep Alpine sediments, the 2020 Ried Achleiten Grüner Veltliner Smaragd is deep, intense and complex on the elegant, coolish, flinty and leafy nose that delivers white fruit and fresh lemon juice aromas. Full-bodied, lush and round, this is a rich but refined and elegant, fruit-intense and minerally structured Achleiten that is concentrated, fresh and quite powerful on the intense and sustainable finish. A wine to keep for at least 5 years. Bottled at the end of May after aging on the lees until early May. Tasted in June 2021.
Delicate nose of tart apricot, lemon zest, sage and sushi ginger leads you into a cool, compact and very well structured palate. Mineral power builds on the bold finish, where the wine seems a lot bigger than on the front palate. Drink or hold.
Light greenish yellow with silver reflections. Fresh apple fruit underlaid with a hint of meadow herbs, tobacco nuances and fresh orange zest. Full-bodied, white stone fruit with lively acidity and a salty minerality on the palate with apricot fruit on the long finish, great length.
