RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...deep and flinty on the clear and coolish, very elegant nose. Rich and intense on the fleshy but also crystalline and piquant palate...full-bodied and elegant Smaragd with stimulatingly fine and salty acidity. Long, fresh, structured and very promising.

91Wine Spectator

Crisp... Features peach and saffron flavors at the core, showing a serious structure...well made.

TYPE

White Wine, Grüner Veltliner, Smaragd

This white grape is widely grown in Austria, Czech Republic and Slovakia. As a wine, it is food friendly and has beaten top Chardonnays in blind tastings. It compares to a white Burgundy in richness and texture, and offers an exotic alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.
