Ried Hollerin:
Where the Kellerberg runs out in the plain, the Hollerin begins. In its upper part, it is strongly influenced by the neighboring location, the soil being more profound and the gneiss less evident. This wine comes from vines  located in the top third, where the clay is even shallower and the rock is even more striking. The wines from the Hollerin often open earlier and give in addition to mineral notes again and again intense Steinobstaromen.

"The 2022 Riesling Hollerin Smaragd is a Riesling site with deeper loam soils mixed with weathered gneiss, facing southwest. The subtle nose hints at tangerine and Navel orange peel. That riper citrus vibe comes to the fore with full juiciness on the smooth, defined, slender palate, where Navel orange expands with both fragrance and zestiness. Taut, full-fruited, and aromatic, this shows notable length. (Bone-dry)"
