Description
"The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Loibenberg Smaragd was picked in both loess- and gneiss-dominated parcels. A more generous nose informs that yeasty, savory Grüner vibe with ripe pear, lending an altogether juicier aspect. The palate reveals lively white pepper against a broader, juicier body. The spice tingles while yeast and pear make for a salty, miso-like mid-palate. (Bone-dry)" - 94 points, Anne Krebiehl MW
"All the colors of pepper pour from the glass of this creamy, concentrated, medium- to full-bodied gruner veltliner Smaragd. This rich masterpiece has the freshness and delicacy of the vintage. In the very long finish, a touch of candied pineapple gives it a special kick. And it has only just spread its wide wings and taken to the air. Drink or hold." - 97 points.
