Alzinger Riesling Höhereck Smaragd 2022

From a sheltered, elevated parcel on shallow orthogneiss soils, just 35–40cm of topsoil, this bone-dry Smaragd has a lightness of touch that sets it apart. Tangerine peel and lemon balm drift across the nose with quiet precision, never pushing. On the palate, that citrus charm unfolds gradually, gaining momentum through a fine, stony depth without ever losing its composure. Pristine and elegantly weighted, with a zesty finish that lingers just long enough to remind you how much is happening beneath the surface.
