| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 1 note) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by jarfour on 11/14/2014 & rated 90 points: Color is old-painting gold. Nose is rich with honey dew and floral tones. Mouth is full, heavier than expected, with great citrus (lime, green apple) to balance the subtle sweetness. Finish lingers. Great wine. (620 views) |

From what I understand, these wines (very ripe, dry, late-harvest, etc.) were going to be designated Honivogl (after a kind of bird found in or near the vineyards, meaning 'honey bird'. However, the Honivogl family was involved in the wine trade in Austria and objected that this would cause confusion and weakening of their trademark. Another creature was therefore selected (the green lizard called Smaragd) to be the mascot (sort of ) for this kind of wine in the Wachau.

Lower Austria isn't "southern" Austria, but rather northeastern. It derives its name from its downriver location on the Danube River, which flows from west to east.Wachau Official tourism website
