2022 F.X. Pichler Durnsteiner Gruner Veltliner Smaragd, Wachau, Austria

(91 points) Sourced from the terraces, the 2022 Dürnsteiner Grüner Veltliner is very clear, fresh and precise on the intensely fruity nose that intermingles ripe seed fruit aromas with lime and stony/iodine notes. Round and intense yet also refreshingly saline and savory on the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied and intense yet vivacious Veltliner with fine bitters on the intense, well-balanced finish.
