Hirtzberger Riesling Ried Singerriedel Smaragd 2023 is a premium white wine from the Wachau region in Austria, crafted by the esteemed Hirtzberger winery. The Singerriedel vineyard is renowned for its steep terraces with slopes up to 70%, composed of paragneiss with a sparse sandy overlay, providing ideal conditions for cultivating elegant Riesling grapes with significant aging potential.


The 2023 vintage showcases a radiant pale yellow-green hue with silver reflections. On the nose, it offers a mineral-driven bouquet with notes of white peach, lime zest, floral hints, and underlying yellow tropical fruit, creating an inviting aroma profile.


The palate is characterized by a complex texture, displaying a fine acid structure, nuances of white stone fruit, and a persistent, saline-mineral finish, indicating excellent aging potential.
