Franz Hirtzberger Singerriedel Riesling Smaragd 2005 is a concentrated, single-site white wine from the Wachau. Following traditional fermentation in large neutral oak, the wine has developed a complex array of honeyed citrus, tropical fruit and crushed stone nuances. It possesses the characteristic muscularity of the Singerriedel site, underpinned by a firm acidic backbone that has allowed it to evolve with grace. The finish is long and dry, reflecting the mineral intensity of the primary rock soils.
