Reviewed June 2025The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Steinertal Smaragd, situated between two lateral valleys that channel cool air, gives this terraced site of gneiss higher day-to-night amplitude and lower daytime temperatures. Gentle spice brings white pepper and crushed fern on the nose. The palate arrives with perfect tension, peppery fern, fine citrus freshness and beautiful concentration. Citrus is key this year on this wonderfully long and incisive Grüner.(NM)

Wine Spectator
Refined and elegant despite its ripeness; juicy melon, nectarine and chrysanthemum notes spill out onto a well-structured frame, laced up with bitter mineral, chopped chive, and dried sage and oregano elements. Precise, with a steely feel to the finish, coursing with crushed stone. A savory version, offering perfect ripeness, length and savory depth—the full package. Drink now through 2034.—K.B.
Notes
95-97pts Fallstaff Magazine: "Pale greenish yellow, silver reflections. Fine notes of apricot, a hint of mango, delicate herbal savouriness, fine honey blossom, mineral touch. Complex, juicy, elegant, white apple fruit, fine acidity, salty on the finish, already very harmonious, can be enjoyed right from the start, certain ageing potential.-Peter Moser"(06/2025)
