Franz Hirtzberger Singerriedel Riesling Smaragd 2001 is a single-site white wine from the Wachau. Singerriedel is renowned for its paragneiss soils and steep exposition, producing Rieslings of immense power and aromatic height. The 2001 vintage provided a long, cool ripening period that resulted in a wine of incredible structural focus and clarity. Now fully mature, the profile exhibits notes of dried peach, lime marmalade and a smoky minerality. The palate is full-bodied and viscous, typical of the Smaragd classification, yet it remains balanced by a persistent saline drive.
