Producer: Rudi Pichler

Grape Type: Gruner Veltliner
Origin: Austria
Region: Austria
94 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2009
($45) Medium green-yellow. Captivating, inviting aromas of greengage plum, orange, lemongrass and freshly cracked green peppercorn are joined in the mouth by notes of ripe papaya and grapefruit. This full-bodied wine boasts sharp delineation thanks to vibrant, perfectly integrated acidity. The juicy, very long finish is an essence of this variety. Offers superb aging potential. This wine best conveys the essence of what is possibly Rudi Pichler's best-ever series of wines: structure is never sacrificed for opulence and ripeness. Drink 2011 to 2023.
