The 2024 Riesling Terrassen Smaragd comes from approximately 60-year-old vines. Some swirling is required to awaken the citrus, but tangerine follows on cue with a slight smokiness. The palate is superbly taut and bright, showing wonderful agility, lemon-scented ease, lovely concentration, real core and straightness. This wine moves and sways, always precise and cool with lovely tension.

The interplay of white peaches, lime zest and herbal freshness gives this wine a very animating tension on the medium-bodied palate. Crisp and stony in the long, zesty finish. Sustainable. Vegan. Drink or hold.
