The white wine Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Ried Achleiten, vintage 2018 from the winery Weingut Holzapfel has been rated in 2019 by Peter Moser with 93 - 95 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Grüner Veltliner from the region Wachau in Austria.
Medium greenish yellow with silver reflections. On the bouquet, a discreet spiciness underlies mango and apple, a hint of anise, orange zest and a deep minerality. The palate shows good complexity; it is juicy and tight knit, with yellow tropical fruit and a mineral-salty combination on the finish, then some herbal nuances on the aftertaste. Definite ageing potential.
