Since taking the reins from his father-in-law and winery namesake, Hans Altmann has patiently, selectively modernized and fine?tuned cellar practices while lovingly caring for the estate's spectacular collection of vines. I must apologize to Altmann for calling him "Klaus" in Issue 87, but then at this address it is easy to have that name in one's head. With his '99 Smaragd from the Klaus, Altmann has captured as exciting an expression of the riesling grape and of Wachau terroir as one can hope to find.
