Complete description
Vintage Description:
The 2023 unites a touch of smokiness with some crushed yarrow and pure lemon, promising complexity from the off. The palate is the Pichler streamline, the focus on stoniness united with the slender grace of Pinot Blanc, with its subtle texture. this creates a disarming combo of stone and gentle, bright, white fruit. The finish is smooth, fresh and elegant. (Anne Krebiehl MW - Vinous, May 2024)wine:

Wachau Smaragd:
In der Wachau benutzen Mitglieder des Gebietsschutzvereins „Vinea Wachau“ folgende drei Marken zur Unterscheidung ihrer Weine nach dem natürlichen Alkoholgehalt: Steinfeder, Federspiel und Smaragd. Die kraftvollen Reserveweine werden als „Smaragd“ (ab 12,5 % vol.) bezeichnet. All diese Weine sind nicht aufgebessert und werden ausschließlich trocken und ohne Barriqueeinsatz ausgebaut.wine title:
Weissburgunder Terrassen Smaragdwine description:
With this Pinot Blanc, Rudi Pichler once again demonstrates that the Wachau has far more to offer than Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. Old vines on steep terraces, mineral-rich soils and a skilful touch in the cellar give rise to a distinctive, elegant Pinot Blanc with remarkable depth and excellent ageing potential.country:
