Rudi Pichler Grüner Veltliner Hochrain Smaragd 2022

Sourced from two distinct soils within the Hochrain vineyard, partially weathered paragneiss that limits root penetration, and deep loess, this 2022 Smaragd is built around savory precision. It moves across the palate with a smooth, streamlined fluidity, driven by a clean lemon-bright streak and a firm mineral backbone. Lean and direct, it finishes with a gentle salinity that extends the line without fanfare. Bone-dry.
