You’ll find the same clarity, refinement, and minerality in the Alzingers’ 2006 Riesling Smaragd Hollerin that characterized their Federspiel from nearby. Site-typical black currant mingles with ripe honeydew melon while a freesia-like sweet florality wafts from the glass and all the way through this wine’s generously-fruited finish, with a soothing, coating character the extends even to its mineral dimension. The most exciting collection I have thus far tasted at this address – like a number of those in the Wachau – departs from the script that was written very early, touting 2006 as a “Gruner Veltliner vintage.”Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
