Score 91/100 · Drink 2021-2031, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Dec 2018
From a steep and terraced vineyard with decomposed gneiss soils, the 2017 Ried Steinertal Grüner Veltliner Smaragd is very clear and intense on the fruit-driven, slightly tropical but also flinty-scented nose. Powerful, intense and lush on the palate, this is a full-bodied but fine and elegant, well-structured and minerally Veltliner with good tannin grip and a persistent finish. Tasted in Oberloiben/Wachau, September 2018.

Cool and herbal with a hint of wet ferns. In spite of the considerable concentration, it remains sleek and straight with a long, uncompromisingly mineral finish. Drink or hold.
