Rudi Pichler Grüner Veltliner Hochrain Smaragd 2024

Flint and a trace of smoke lead the nose, precise, cool, and inviting. On the palate, bright acidity and a saline edge arrive first, followed by white miso and yeasty depth that give this a distinctly savory, umami-driven character. No pepper, no weight, just bone-dry precision and a long, mouthwatering finish. Excellent Hochrain.
