F.X. Pichler Riesling Smaragd Loibenberg 2016

Pear, white peach and almond sit at the bright, lifted end of the aromatic spectrum, while stony, smoky and peppery undercurrents pull in the opposite direction, a tension that brings this wine closer to the Steinertal than you might expect from the Loibenberg. That interplay of fruit and mineral doesn't fade; it drives through to a finish that is both long and genuinely invigorating. A serious Smaragd that rewards time in the glass.
