95-97 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Loibenberg Smaragd comes from a parcel of loess atop gneiss bedrock in the midslope of the south-facing site. The nose is shy, showing just a hint of savory yeast. With more air, a touch of fern emerges. The palate offers almost a Riesling-like lightness, with direction and verve that belie the loess. There is lovely balance, slight savor and exquisite tension. Drink: 2030-2055. (May 2025)" 94-96 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. Fine pear, delicate spiciness, a hint of greengage, a touch of orange zest. Complex, finely-meshed, white pomaceous fruit, great finesse, salty and firm on the finish, already a well-balanced food wine with depth and freshness; certain ageing potential. (6/30/25)"
