Tasting notes
The 2021 Ried Schütt Dürnsteiner Riesling Smaragd offers a clear, pure, intense and elegant nose of ripe and concentrated white-stone fruit aromas intermingled with spicy terroir notes. Full-bodied, tight and purely mineral on the palate, this is a dense and juicy Schütt with a charming intense texture, fine acidity and striking mineral grip and structure. This is a powerful, compact, salty, spicy and persistent Riesling with a dense, aromatic and long-lived finish. 13% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted twice in September and October 2022.

Unterloiben. Delicate smoky aromas of baking apples and wildflower honey. Supple fruit on the structured palate with a zesty, refreshing phenolic grip. Momentum, precision and an austere minerality that leads into a mouth-watering saline finish. Still quite closed with just the faintest peek behind the fruity curtain to see the energy and power beneath. (PS)
