Note di degustazione
The 2022 Dürnsteiner Ried Kellerberg Grüner Veltliner opens with a deep, pure, precise yet generous, dense, elegant, very seductive nose with ripe and lush fruit aromas intermingled with saline and flinty notes of crushed stones. Round and juicy as well as textured on the palate, this is a full-bodied, dense and generous yet elegant, finessed and perfectly balanced Veltliner with fine tannins and a long, aromatic and structured finish. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in April 2024.

The Pichlers moved from Kremstal in 1898. The seventh generation now runs the family’s Wachau estate. The sixth generation F X is quoted as saying, when asked whether his work was to express Nature, ‘We fight Nature every day’. 50% of Wachau Gr ü ner Veltliner is made by the co-op, Domäne Wachau. F X dropped out of Vinea Wachau but this is Smaragd level from a steep site in D ü rnstein, the Pichlers’ most famous site, on urgestein (= gneiss). Aged in big oak casks. Pale straw. Intense varietal nose. Very broad start to the palate that then tenses up towards the end and has flowers and herbs as well as the white pepper. Real concentration but not heaviness in this wine. Sappy, concentrated and energetic. Very obviously the best of these Grüners. (JR)
The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Kellerberg comes from the warmer, lower reaches of the Kellerberg, as the higher zones are reserved for Riesling. Slight yeast and ripe pear on the nose signal smoothness. On the palate, the pear dissipates to leave a sleek flow of white miso paste edged with white and green pepper. After that, citrus takes over to elongate these flavors on a very classy, smooth and concentrated body, once again tapering very elegantly to the finish. (Bone-dry) (AK)
Dürnstein. South- to south-east facing at 204–340 m on Gföhl gneiss. A bright and concentrated fruitiness emerges like sunbeams through the clouds. Refreshing and juicy with lively acidity and a cooling fruit finish. (PS)
