Rudi Pichler Grüner Veltliner Federspiel 2015

Split pea, green herbs and a cool vegetal lift open things up, lettuce, snap pea and watercress threading through the nose with quiet precision. On the palate, fresh apple juiciness softens the austerity, while a faint alkalinity and artichoke bitterness tug the finish toward something drier and more angular. That restraint is the point. Invigorating and clean, with a silky texture that keeps it approachable throughout.
