2019 Rudi Pichler Riesling Weissenkirchner Achleiten Smaragd

The 2019 Ried Achleithen Riesling Smaragd is deep and pure on the dense, complex, very elegant, crystalline and stony nose. Lush and round on the palate, this is an intense, very concentrated yet crystalline and salty Riesling with great terroir expression. The 2019 Achleithen already drinks stunningly well but can also be cellared for many years. The aftertaste is very intense and has the crescendo of a great terroir wine. A really great Wachau Riesling. 14% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in June 2021.
