| Description: | 98 JS / 96 Vm. One of the most extraordinary gruner veltliners of the vintage. Still very young, this great wine has an astonishing purity. At the upper limit of medium-bodied with a staggeringly intense stony minerality that's beautifully interwoven with the wide spectrum of yellow and green stone fruit aromas. Yes, it has some serious richness on the mid-palate, but even there it is extremely precise, then, at the finish, you descend ever deeper into the crystalline mysteries of the earth. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.-James Suckling. The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Achleiten is on poor parcels of Gföhler gneiss from 80-85-year-old-vines. The nose has an unusual, even uncanny, citrus scent, while the palate is super taut, linear, very tight and, dare I say it, almost Riesling-like in its shape and intensity. The only aspect that announces this as Grüner versus Riesling is the pepperiness. This is bright, savory, taut and juicy. (Bone-dry)-- Anne Krebiehl Mw, Vinous Media |
