Högl – Bruck Gelber Muskateller 2016 Smaragd – Wachau

The nose is aromatic, intense, mineral, fine, “clean” and offers a slight / discreet concentration. It reveals notes of white flowers / honeysuckle and fine notes of exotic fruits (quenette, lychee, a hint of papaya) combined with a subtle hint of rose and a very discreet hint of fresh lemon. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced, round, straight, “clean”, well-built, precise and offers a fine acid frame, a nice suavity / fat, tension, a nice minerality, a nice definition as well as a fine intensity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of exotic fruits (quenette, lychee) and fine notes of flowers (rose, honeysuckle) combined with a discreet hint of ripe green apple (in the background) as well as a discreet hint of lemon zest. Good length.
