WINE DESCRIPTION
F.X. Pichler Dürnsteiner Grüner Veltliner Smaragd is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Austrian winemaker F.X. Pichler. The wine comes from the Dürnstein appellation, which is known for its steep terraced vineyards along the Danube River. The vineyards are characterized by their rocky soils and south-facing slopes, which provide optimal sun exposure for the grapes. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including hand harvesting and gentle pressing, to preserve the delicate flavors and aromas of the Grüner Veltliner grape. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the varietal, with notes of citrus, white peach, and minerality, and a long, refreshing finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This F.X.Pichler Dürnsteiner Grüner Veltliner Smaragd is an opulent white wine displaying a light golden hue in the glass. On the nose, aromas of white flowers, citrus, and stone fruits are complemented by notes of honey and mineral. On the palate, the wine is creamy and full-bodied, with a refreshing acidity and a long, layered finish. Flavors of ripe stone fruit, lemon zest, and white pepper lead to a lingering, mineral-driven aftertaste. This is a complex, yet elegant Grüner Veltliner that is sure to please.
