Domäne Wachau Riesling Smaragd Ried Achleiten 2018
RRP HK$400.00
HK$300.00 each
"A subtle but pure note of Mandarin orange rises from the glass. On the palate, a far more lemony flavor takes over, reminiscent as much of fresh, ripe Amalfi lemon peel as of candied lemon. It is pervasive and driven, filling mouth and mind with its citrus richness and allure. There is drive, concentration, ripeness and zest."

"Clear, intense and flinty on the concentrated and herbal/floral nose, with apricot, ginger and pumpkin seed aromas. Lush, fresh and very mineral on the palate, this is a fascinating Riesling from the prestigious Achleiten. Highly complex, lush and elegant and combines finesse and freshness with substance, grip and tension. Speaks to the hedonist as well as the intellectual. Absolutely fabulous. "
