Franz Hirtzberger Singerriedel Riesling Smaragd 2022 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard white wine from the Wachau region of Austria. Smaragd denotes grapes picked with the highest level of ripeness and is considered the highest quality level of the wines of Wachau. A blend of seven different parcels extending from the top to the bottom of the steep, rocky Singerriedel vineyard, this 2021 Riesling is structured, with hugely impressive texture and breadth. Huge ageing potential, too. "This astonishing dry Riesling has an extraordinarily complex nose that’s brimming with spice, mandarin orange, mango and persimmon. Still very tightly wound on the medium-bodied palate with a whiplash acidity that could wake the dead. However, the balance is already spot on, the ripeness, creaminess and minerality so precisely matched. Staggering racy energy at the simultaneously gigantic and filigree finish." James Suckling 2023

Riesling

96 Vinous

- The 2022 Riesling Singerriedel Smaragd was harvested with about 5% botrytised fruit. The nose has a lifted notion of candied citrus that flits away to reveal ripe tangerine and aromatic navel orange. The palate is ripe and has the merest edge of honey on a rich, smooth, even bold mouthfeel. All is channeled by Riesling’s essential acidity structure and drive. This is a super-ripe but super-defined Riesling that is emblematic for the term and category of contemporary Smaragd—golden, fluid and long with expressive, ripe citrus tones. (Bone-dry)

92 Robert Parker

Deep white-gold, the 2022 Ried Singerriedel Riesling Smaragd shows an intensely spicy as well as elegant and aromatic nose of apricots with a certain phenolic quality. It is dense and very aromatic on the palate but not free of stress phenols, which are not particularly fine. It has somewhat astringent and washed out fruit on the finish. This is a baroque style, but at the moment, the shapes and colors are somewhat blurred. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein, Wachau, in September 2023. - Stephan Reinhardt
