2021 Rudi Pichler Riesling Weissenkirchner Achleiten Smaragd

Clear, bright stone-fruit spice with ripe and concentrated mirabelle aromas open Rudi Pichler's 2021 Ried Achleithen Riesling Smaragd. Very clear and classic, this is the most attractive white of the family estate this year, combining iodine rock notes with ripe fruit notes. On the palate, it's powerful, rich and intense but also salty, fine and long. A remarkable, age-worthy Riesling from Achleithen that will take its time. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein, Wachau, in September 2022.
