Tasting Notes
The very first Singerriedel Smaragd: bright yellow gold in colour with green reflections. On the nose, fine nuances of petrol, subtle hints of grapefruit zest and a touch of fresh ginger, underpinned with some lemongrass and fresh mint. The palate is juicy, with fine yellow stone fruit nuances, discreet sweetness, an elegant structure full of finesse, a pronounced, well-integrated tannic note and peach, tropical fruit and a touch of lemon and eucalyptus evident on the finish. The wine remains stable and fresh even after a long time in the glass.
