We are thrilled by the strong ratings from the famous critic’s online wine portal. Julia Harding MW and Paula Sidore tasted through the world of Austrian wine on behalf of JancisRobinson.com and had many words of praise for our Smaragd wines.

Strict, knowledgeable, and objective:  There’s a reason why Jancis Robinson’s weekly newsletter is read by hundreds of thousands of wine fans around the world. Julia Harding MW and Paula Sidore, the portals’ specialists in Grüner Veltliner, Blaufränkisch & co., traveled to Austria to put the country’s wines through their paces. On a visit to Schloss Dürnstein, the pair got up close and personal with Wachau wines from the 2022 vintage.
