The father-son tandem Leo senior and Leo junior transformed the complicated 2005 vintage into a brilliant series of veltliners and rieslings. Particularly stellar are the Smaragd wines from both varieties from the best sites in Steinertal. The two wines released under the "Reserve" label show pronounced botrytization and will require several years before they reach their full potential.
