2021 Grüner Veltliner Ried Kellerberg, Smaragd, F.X. Pichler
A famed vineyard site and Pichler's steepest vineyard site that has a south, south-east exposition and still benefits from significant diurnal temperatures that help with a consistent maturation of the grapes. Its hugely complex soils of gneiss and fine loess top soil produces high quality grapes with the wine destined to be very long lived. Cooler fruit profiles of citrus and flinty notes work in juxtaposition to the more tropical and exotic notes of pineapple and mango. Ginger spice and white pepper aromas add layers of complexity.
