Riesling Singerriedel Smaragd 2015

Singerriedel is a wind-sheltered, steep-terraced vineyard at the eastern end of Spitz, and is considered to be among the best sites in the Wachau. The stony soil accumulates autumn warmth until late in the evening. The old, weathered gneiss soil is covered by a thin layer of silicate-rich brown earth. Singerriedel is famous for ripe, concentrated Rieslings with typical stone-fruit aromas and a pronounced mineral character.
The grapes for were carefully hand-picked after multiple selections with a yield of 4.9 tonnes per hectare, between the end of October and the beginning of November. After six hours’ maceration, the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks. It matured in stainless steel until bottling in June 2016.
Bright golden yellow with subtle silver highlights, this offers elegant aromas of white peach, melon, pineapple, yellow apple, acacia and wild herbs. On the palate it shows lots of cool fruits with delicate citrus. It’s juicy but tight, with an expressive structure and a vibrant mineral character. It’s long and full of finesse.
