From a warm, very steep, southwest-facing vineyard with some 60+-year-old vines on calcareous soil with schist elements, the 2018 Ried Liebenberg GrĂ¼ner Veltliner Smaragd is dark and flinty on the coolish and stony nose. Round and elegant on the palate, this is, however, a pretty rich and fruity Liebenberg with some bitters on the finish. Quite alcoholic for my taste. Bottled in August 2019 and tasted at the domain in September.
