Unterloiben. Big, warm vineyard, nearly 36 ha ranging west to south-east. Certified Sustainable Austria. Intense lime inscribed with salinity. Very dense, compact, the fruit encased in stony mineral tones. Give it time to emerge; the fruit inside feels pristine, fresh, alive. Going back to it, it's really intensely salty. In a good way. (TQT)

If you don’t deeply inhale the exotic floral bouquet of this great riesling, you’ll have missed out. Rich and powerful on the barely full-bodied palate with a wonderful creaminess that’s sensuous but not a bit too much. Mandarin-orange and fresh-papaya aromas cascade over you in the extravagant, yet astonishingly precise, finish. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Riesling Loibenberg Smaragd immediately beguiles with ripe, aromatic, fresh tangerine zestiness. The palate is milder than the nose suggests but offers a juicy, aromatic, beautifully tingling mandarin and clementine purity with immense juiciness. More air allows the citrus aromas to unfold and become even more beguiling, still showing yeasty savor but opening up into shining ripeness without a hint of heaviness. (Bone-dry)
