I love B‑21 ‑ 10 stars! I don’t like that UPS is the delivery provider. I am usually never home when UPS attempts to deliver and changing the delivery has a cost associated with it, and sometime their site is difficult to navigate. This is never my experience with FedEx. It isn’t the UPS driver, the driver for my route is great. It is the UPS organization’s process.

We use several different Online wine retailers but B‑21 was new to us. We were looking for a very specific Australian wine and a specific vintage. B‑21 had what we were searching for at an excellent price. Ordered six bottles which were delivered 6 days after order confirmation. Excellent customer service and communication. We will definitely be ordering more wines from B‑21.

2023 Hirtzberger Riesling Ried Singerriedel Smaragd (750ml)

Riesling from Wachau, Austria

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

"In this cool end of the Wachau, this particular house style has come to a convincing apotheosis in 2023. It's really impressive but, above all, elegant."

- Anne Krebiehl,Vinous

The Hirtzberger estate is in many ways the definitive Wachau standard bearer. After all, it was the original Franz Hirtzberger who founded the Vinea Wachau classification which now sets the standards for the region's three-tier hierarchy of Steinfeder, Federspiel, and Smaragd. Franz the second has now served as president of the organization for going on three decades, so the family practically is Wachau in a way. And that's before we even get to their unparalleled stable of vineyard sites, all of which are simply some of the best in all of Austria.

As with many of the country's finest producers, the magnificent 2023 vintage has endowed their wines with next-level class and inspired massive accolades from across the critical sphere, highlighted by the three benchmark collectible trophies on offer below. Starting with the 100-point Singerriedl Riesling, it's a wine of "fabulous concentration, focus and finesse" that will stand for decades in any cellar full of the world's top examples. The V97 Steinporz Riesling "is a triumph" according to Krebiehl, while the "inviting and generous appeal" of the 97-point Axpoint Grüner gives fans of the variety all the quintessential character they're looking for in a reference-point expression.

We've been absolutely thrilled with what we've seen in Austria's 2023 vintage so far, and Hirtzberger's offerings stand unequivocally among the very elite of the campaign. However, quantities are limited, so collectors will want to take decisive action to secure these gems at the best pricing in the market.

An incredibly wide aromatic spectrum with all the stone and citrus fruits plus a slew of white flowers is married to an overwhelming freshness and vitality that sweep you away. Fabulous concentration, focus and finesse. The supercool, bright finish echoes almost endlessly. Drink or hold.

100 points, Stuart Pigott, James Suckling (Sep 2024)

Medium green yellow, silver reflections. Delicate nuances of vineyard peach, a hint of meadow herbs, hints of yellow apple, mineral touch, still a little shy. Taut, tightly woven, elegant, fine fruit of stone fruit, finesse-rich acidity, delicate pineapple, mineral and very long-lasting, delicate and light-footed, a very convincing style, enormous certain ageing potential.

99 points, Peter Moser, Falstaff (Jun 2024)

The 2023 Riesling Singerriedel Smaragd was harvested with minimal botrytis of just 1 to 2% of the cleanest berries. Relative restraint defines the nose. The citrus is merely hinted at in the distance, but there is some mandarin and tangerine. The palate comes in with absolute precision and stoniness; yes, this is Hirtzberger. The citrus depth is immense. This is a Singerriedel at the top of its game, with absolute preciseness and calibrated ripeness. Purity, stone, zest and gentle fruit combine harmoniously, with ripeness, restraint and measure. (Bone-dry)
