Nikolaihof - Riesling Smaragd Wachau Vom Stein 2005 (750ml) LKCritical Acclaim 94 points Wine Enthusiast Structured with green plums and currants, this delicious, limpid wine envelops the palate with citrus and pure, crisp fruit flavors. A great expression of terroir driven Riesling, with a mineral and steely structure to support the fruit. Roger Voss

The finish has a velvety texture that lingers indefinitely with enough minerality to remind you of this special region

fresh ginger and spice flavors that build toward the snappy finish

the palate is lively and intense

fruity and crisp palate that's a little shrill but quenches thirst nonetheless

with integrated acidity and great finish

Classic white vinification

and patient waiting among the Barrels

hence the name Centorri for their Moscato di Pavia

It has strong character

gobs of ripe cassis fruit are nicely framed by the judicious use of toasty oak

to the growing season
