94-96 points Peter Moser (Falstaff): "Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. Delicate meadow herbs, fine yellow pome fruit nuances, a hint of mango, a hint of mandarin zest. Juicy, elegant, complex, fine fruity sweetness at the core, fresh acidity, mineral-salty, a lively food companion, shows length and certain ageing potential. (6/24/24)" 94 points Anne Krebiehl, MW (Vinous): "The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Rotes Tor Smaragd was picked in gneiss-based sites across Spitz, avoiding loess. Ripe green pear, verging into yellow stone fruit and golden pear peel, sets the tone on the nose. The palate is peppery and smooth, fluid with rich, fresh, juicy fruit and an almost zesty texture reminiscent of pear peel. The length of the wine is astonishing; what remains is zestiness, texture and savor. Exquisite. (Bone-dry) Drink: 2028-2053. (Jul 2024)"
