Falstaff - 99

The 2005 Riesling Smaragd Singerriedel from Weingut Franz Hirtzberger is a highly refined and mature wine from the Wachau region. Sourced from the prestigious Singerriedel vineyard, known for its steep terraces and mineral-rich soils, this wine combines power and elegance.


The 2005 vintage offers a rich profile with notes of dried apricot, honey, citrus, and petrol, balanced by vibrant acidity and pronounced minerality. Full-bodied and complex, it pairs well with roasted meats, seafood, or mature cheeses. With its long aging potential, it remains a benchmark for Wachau Rieslings.
