JAMES SUCKLING 95 POINTS - "This great riesling Smaragd has all three colors of the peach (white, yellow and red), and they are woven into a rich, creamy body that the mineral acidity deftly lifts. Right on the edge of medium- to full-bodied. Stunning length, although the acidity is modest. Silky finish. From vineyards at the foot of the famous Loibenberg site. Drink or hold."
ANTONIO GALLONI VINOUS 92-94 POINTS - "The 2023 Gruner Veltliner Kreutles Smaragd (from the site's upper part at the foot of Loibenberg) is shy on the nose, with fern and slightly peppery yeast. The palate comes in with an expression of yeast and a touch of white miso, all defined by mildness, freshness and a savory core. This is an understated, quiet and savory expression of Gruner. (Bone-dry)"
