The 2016 Ried Loibenberg Grüner Veltliner Smaragd has a deep, clear and flinty flavored bouquet of ripe, concentrated and very well defined white and yellow-fleshed fruits. On the palate, this is a full-bodied, rich, round and charming but also refined, elegant and tightly woven Grüner Veltliner with power, good tannins and mineral grip. It is a generous and rather smooth Veltliner compared to the fresh and finessed Steinertal or the firmly structured Liebenberg. Its finish is long, intense and powerful and reveals tropical fruit aromas. Tasted in July 2017, one week after the bottling.
