2022 FX Pichler Gruner Veltliner Ried Loibenberg Smaragd

(93 Points) An impressively harmonious Gruner, with zesty fresh lemon, persimmon and aloe flavors expertly woven with smoke, spice and chopped chive notes. Reveals depth and complexity, with white mocha and buttercream hints adding to the richness, while succulent acidity draws out the salty, well-defined finish. This is absolutely delicious and intensely drinkable now -- with lots of aging potential, too. Drink now through 2035. 30 cases imported.  Wine Spectator
