Stoffig, saftig, feine gelbe Tropenfrucht, lebendig strukturiert, große Finesse und Balance, saliner Abgang, zeigt Länge und Potenzial, ein großes Zukunftsversprechen.“

- 98 Punkte James Suckling, Stuart Pigott (10/2024): It’s hard to imagine how a dry riesling could be more graceful than this masterpiece of finesse and filigree. The precision of the flower- and white-fruit aromas is matched by the beauty of the wet-stone minerality on the medium-bodied palate. The almost endless finish makes you feel like you’re floating on a cloud, looking down into the Danube Valley. Sustainable. Drink or hold.“

- 97 Punkte, VINOUS, Anne Krebiehl MW (05/2024): „The 2023 Riesling Wachstum Bodenstein Smaragd is on the Hochseiber site, planted in 1990 with the most varied selection of Riesling genetics of 25 different clones from across Germany, Alsace and Wachau. The site reaches up to 460 meters, which was difficult to ripen at the time of planting. The breezy freshness of fragrant and aromatic citrus features tangerine, bergamot and grapefruit. The palate is milder than the nose suggests but is defined by a fine-boned smoothness, translucent stoniness and finess. Zestiness at the core is key, carrying the essential and eternal citrus nature of Riesling forward. The finish is lovely long and delicious. (Dry) Drinking window: 2028-2055“
