Suckling om: Riesling Ried Steinertal

The pinnacle of racy, stony riesling with an incredible Amalfi-lemon, lime and wild-herb freshness. On the medium-bodied palate, it’s beautifully elegant before a titanic wave of wet-stone minerality washes you away. How to come back from that and deal with normal wines? From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.

Galloni om: Riesling Ried Steinertal

The 2023 Riesling Steinertal is from high parcels in the Steinertal, close to the woods. Lemon and lemon leaf are pure and fragrant on the nose. This is whip-smart, slender and so perfumed. It is wonderfully clean cut, ripe and smooth in its lemony brightness and gorgeously fresh. The 2023 is linear, bright, stony and absolutely citrus-arrow-like. (Bone-dry)

Parker om: Riesling Ried Steinertal

Another success in this challenging year is the 2021 Pavie Macquin, a promising effort that offers up aromas of sweet berries, Indian spices, licorice and bay leaf. Medium to full-bodied, layered and incisive, it's a tensile, tightly wound wine that's concentrated and penetrating, concluding with a mineral finish. Its low pH profile means that this is always an estate that gains a lot from élevage, but even at this early stage, it's clear that this has excellent potential. 93-95/100

Min vinmager

FX Pichler

Franz Xaver Pichlers vingård er lidt af en østrigsk nationalskat. Alle elsker FX Pichler - og på trods af hans mange venners succes har han påtaget sig et lidt barskt ydre og koncentrerer sig udelukkende om det væsentlige - at lave vin.
