F.X. Pichler Riesling Steinertal 2023

From high parcels in the Steinertal, close to the forest edge, this bone-dry Riesling announces itself with pristine lemon, lemon leaf and a delicate floral lift. Slender and focused on the palate, with a clean citrus brightness and a stony precision that cuts straight through to the finish. There's real finesse here, nothing excessive, just taut, fragrant Wachau Riesling at its most direct and alive.
