Rudi Pichler Riesling 'Achleiten' Smaragd Wachau 2016

Rudi Pichler’s family has tended vines in the Wachau since 1731, dominated by Gruner Veltliner and Riesling. Rudi took over in 1997, farming the family’s 15 hectares of south-facing terraced vines with a ‘wine caretaker, not winemaker’ philosophy, creating pure, energetic wines. The ‘Achleiten’ Riesling oozes with notes of grapefruit, lemon, and dried fruits, noted with elegant acidity and complex texture; full-bodied, juicy, and delicious.
