FX Pichler Riesling Loibner Steinertal Smaragd

FX Pichler Riesling Loibner Steinertal Smaragd

Wine Information
What a beautiful aromatic display: guava, peaches, potpourri, crushed stones and slate. Bright acid, a bold presence on the palate, the wine is both compact and young but also expressive and bold. Dry, chalky, mango, dried pineapple, orange peel, notes of clove, white pepper and quinine. Full, intense, age-worthy. 

This is one of the steepest and most austere primitive-rock sites encountered in Loiben. Loibnerberg, one of Wachau's largest coherent single vineyards, is fully exposed to the south and accordingly warm and sunny. The wines derived from this site are shaped by the unique composition of this first-class primitive-rock soil, which imparts longevity to them. Here, opulent, intense and yet subtle wines develop – Riesling showing a fruity texture (peach, apricot) and Grüner Veltliner being full-bodied with underlying minerality, even slightly smoky and tobacco notes.
