Golden in color, the 2013 Riesling Smaragd Achleiten is very different to the Steinriegel: richer, riper, more on the (tropical) fruit than the soil side. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, this wine is characterized through its enormous concentration and juicy fruitiness. It needs some years to relax and should therefore be stored for another 3-5 years. The aging potential, however, should be great. - Stephan Reinhardt
