Machherndl 2006 Steinterrassen Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)
- Cellar Selection
A structured, mineral wine, with crisp green fruit. There is some austerity here, and the wine shows potential richness, but this shows more structure at the moment. Give it 4–5 years.

Machherndl 2003 Smaragd Kollmitz Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
A bit reticent on the nose, offering little more than hints of honey and peppery spice. It’s much more expressive in the mouth, where it delivers melon, pear and liquid minerals via a full, oily-textured mouthfeel. Imported by Broadbent Selections, Inc.

Machherndl 2005 Smaragd Kollmitz Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)
- Cellar Selection
- $22
The Kollmitz’s Joching vineyard is at the heart of Erich Machherndl’s wines, producing both Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. This Grüner is impressively rich in a smooth, creamy style, with fresh green apples and white currant flavors. It should age well, its richness giving it the right structure.

Machherndl 2006 Steinwand Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)
A powerful, rich and complex wine, with intense pear flavors and an impressively firm structure. There is spice as well, with a mineral character underneath the richness.

Machherndl 2006 Smaragd Kollmitz Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)
- $25
Big spice is proper for a Grüner Veltliner Smaragd wine, the richest category in the Wachau. But Machherndl also manages not to forget white fruits, a layer of acidity, and a full, but crisp varietal character.

Machherndl 2006 Kollmitz Federspiel Riesling (Wachau)
- $20
A deliciously crisp and fresh wine with some good concentrated fruit, but more attractive acidity. There is just a hint of spice, but freshness is what this wine is all about.

Machherndl 2007 Kollmütz Alte Reben Riesling (Wachau)
- Online Exclusive
An off-dry Riesling, that preserves the evocative white perfumed fruits and rounds them out with some sweetness. It has an unmistakable almond and green plum flavor that goes with pear juice and a soft, mouthfilling close. Glass stopper.

Machherndl 2007 Kollmitz Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)
- Online Exclusive
- $29
This rich but dry wine brings out Grüner Veltliner’s peppery character, which shows on top of the pear and quince flavors. The acidity offers a lift to this intense, concentrated wine.
