This 2023 Riesling Smaragd from Ried Steinriegl in the Wachau, Austria, has a filigree texture and a complex mineral aroma. A hint of exotic fruit shows on the palate, and the bright finish leaves a memory of stone fruit and lychee. It is 12% ABV.
Weingut Jäger is a fifth-generation estate in the hamlet of Weissenkirchen, in the southern Wachau. At just five hectares, it holds parcels in some of the appellation's best sites, including Klaus and Achleiten. The trellised vineyards run steeply along the Wachau, following its contours. The wines are usually fermented in stainless steel, except in rare vintages when there is enough to fill an old, large oak barrel. They show the terroir clearly and cost less than wines from more famous neighbors working in the same vineyards.
