This rich but dry ‘GV’ is reminiscent of the iconic “Smaragd” (English: Emerald), the highest classification from the native Wachau. A haunting wine, complex and concentrated with an amazingly fresh vibrancy. Flavours of rock melon and quince are complemented by honeyed aromas and spicy undertones. Hints of fresh ginger and a finely balanced mineral backbone make it a contender for ageing.
