Tasting notes
White flowers and minerals make up the nose of the wonderful 2000 Riesling Smaragd Singerriedel. This medium-bodied wine has a rich, thick, oily-textured character. Expansive waves of honeyed minerals and candied apples can be discerned in its dense core and extraordinarily long finish. Projected maturity: 2005-2016+. Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700

As with Hirtzberger's other 2000 Smaragd rieslings, the harvest for this wine was split between the last days of October and mid-November. The peach and honey scents so typical of Singerriedel are followed by an equally typical and impressive sheer lump of pure fruit and formidable mineral extract. The peaches take on a note of mocha in the long, honeyed yet dry finish. 2 stars.
