Rudi Pichler Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Kollmtz 2015

Green apple, sugar snap pea and fresh herb sit alongside roasted beet and a chalky, smoky undercurrent that gives the wine a quietly austere edge. For all its richness, the alcohol stays measured and the acidity keeps things lively, crunchy and persistent in a way that makes another sip feel necessary. Ripe but never heavy, this is Kollmitz showing Grüner Veltliner's ability to carry weight without losing focus.
