F.X. Pichler
Loibner Burgstall Federspiel Riesling
All flint and lime zest on the nose. With air this gained an earthy depth with crushed english ivy and floral violet notes. Very complex and wouls be a great wine to experiment with food pairing. I had to double check it was not Gruner Veltliner. 😁

Super reductive. Pretty straightforward on the nose, but a bit too much petrol/plastic on the palate.

Apr 18th, 2016Pichler wines need at least 5-6 years to show their stuff like this wine was, and it seems to have many years ahead. The fruit was broad and exotic with taut acidity...almost pineapple-y, but there's powerful mineral presence, fresh herbs and flowers in spades.
