Franz Hirtzberger Singerriedel Riesling Smaragd 2005 is a concentrated, single-site white wine from the Wachau. Following traditional fermentation in large neutral oak, the wine has developed a complex array of honeyed citrus, tropical fruit and crushed stone nuances. It possesses the characteristic muscularity of the Singerriedel site, underpinned by a firm acidic backbone that has allowed it to evolve with grace. The finish is long and dry, reflecting the mineral intensity of the primary rock soils.

Vinous
Medium green-yellow. Pronounced peach fragrance, with mandarin zest, delicate spring blossoms and minerals adding complexity to the nose. Precisely chiseled, firmly structured and complex. The wine's incredible depth will require at least a few more months before it will open to display a peacock's tail of rich aromas and flavors. Extremely stylish, gorgeous wine that remains pure as a mountain stream. This displays a profundity and finesse that are rarely achieved in Austrian wine-or anywhere else. Should offer exceptional aging potential. Drink 2008 through 2015.Peter Moser1st November 2006
