F.X. Pichler Riesling Ried Burgstall 2022

Description

Founded in 1898, Pichler is one of the wineries that help put Austria on the world wine map. Their philosophy is to get the best out of the excellent potential nature offers us. A responsibility not only towards their family, but also towards nature, history and the wine, because the capital is the vineyards, the vines and the understanding gained from tradition in association with intuition and world-openness. What they want is to craft wines that reflect the year, the soil and the special microclimate of the Wachau. The subtle nuances of each single vineyard are to be experienced and tasted in their multi-layered uniqueness.From sandy gneiss soil on a windy plateau, the 2021 Loibner Riesling Ried Burgstall fermented in stainless steel and aged in large oak for three months before being released in May. It opens with a clear, fine and elegant bouquet of lime juice and rind intermingled with riper citrus fruit such as grapefruit but also lovely grass and herbal notes. On t
