Pichler, F.X. - Grüner Veltliner Loibenberg 2021

WEINWISSER: "Süßer Duft, Biskuit, Marille, ein Hauch Vanille spielt dezent mit; vereint perfekt die samtige Textur mit feinmineralischer Finesse, wirkt subtil und von hintergründiger Rasse getragen, zart blumig und dazu leichtfüßig und verspielt, baut zum Abgang hin immer mehr Spannung auf und vibriert am Gaumen, bleibt lang; Harmonie. Noch Fragen?"

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2021 Loibner Grüner Veltliner Ried Loibenberg offers a fascinating, clear and pure, deep, intense and mineral-rich bouquet with just-ripe fruit but also grassy and herbal aromas with a hint of smoke, dates and tobacco leaves. Full-bodied yet vital and fresh on the palate, this is a rich and intense but also pure, refined and very elegant Loibenberg with a dense body uplifted by fine mineral acidity. It's an impressive, stimulating, saline and refreshing mineral and herbal GV with a sustainable and complex finish. Absolutely gorgeous Loibenberg. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in September 2022."
