Reviewed September 2024What an amazing array of stone- and exotic-fruit aromas, also jasmine and wild herbs. Tremendous concentration and elegance on the medium- to full-bodied palate. An extremely long and refined finish with a touch of salty character alongside the wet-stone minerality. Drink or hold.

Vinous
The 2023 Riesling Schütt Smaragd comes from a cooler, ventilated site on deep gneiss deposits. The 2023 is astonishingly open for a barrel sample, spraying with tangy citrus, tangerine and lemon zest, crossing that yellow-to-orange spectrum of citrus. This wine exemplifies the estate: understated yet expressive with bright, lovely citrus. This is immensely juicy on the mid-palate, with much flow and expression of this riper year, reverting back to full zesty tanginess on the finish. The 2023 is a joy; it has a sense of ease and equanimity and is slender, yet very succulent. (Bone-dry)(AK)
Notes
97pts Fallstaff Magazine: "Light yellow gold, silver reflections. Nuances of pineapple and passion fruit, ripe peach, a hint of saffron, mineral and inviting. Deep with ripe yellow peach, fine acidity, salty touch, fine fruitiness on the finish, already balanced, lingers for a long time, offers great drinking pleasure, very accessible.-Peter Moser"(06/2025)
