Franz Hirtzberger Singerriedel Riesling Smaragd Wachau DAC

Wachau DAC, Austria
Single-vineyard Smaragd Riesling from the Singerriedel — one of the Wachau's greatest Riesling sites on primary rock above Spitz. White peach, apricot, slate mineral, white flower and extraordinary tension; full-bodied Smaragd weight with Riesling's characteristic needle-fine acidity; evolves magnificently over fifteen-plus years.
complement
Austrian Riesling and Danube trout is one of the country's great regional pairings — the wine's mineral precision and acidity are a natural frame for the fish.

complement
Wachau Smaragd Riesling's weight and mineral character perfectly match the firm flesh and richness of pike-perch in cream sauce.

complement
One of Austria's great wine-food pairings: the wine's mineral acidity and weight cut through the fried veal's richness and the jam's sweetness.
