The 2021 Ried Steinertal Loibner Riesling Smaragd is excitingly pure, intense and rocky on the nose that reveals clear, bright fruit intertwined with some savory and iodine notes. Medium-bodied, elegant and juicy on the palate, this is a tight and intense Riesling from the Loibner Steinertal with a saline and minerally tensioned finish. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in October 2022.

How can a wine that’s cool and green be so ripe and deep? This finely chiseled beauty proves that this is not only possible, but can also be very attractive. What a beautiful texture this great dry riesling has. It reminds me of the feel of raw silk. Super-long, crushed-rock finish that pulls you inexorably back for more. Drink or hold.

Elegant, austere and straightforward; slow evolution over years; delicate, salty and subtle-fruity aromas in a profound and concentrated body; cool and lasting on the palate and beyond.
