This F.X.Pichler Loibner Steinertal Riesling Smaragd is a compelling wine. It has an intense nose of ripe citrus, white peach, and peppery notes, along with an underlying mineral streak. On the palate it is full-bodied and intensely flavored, with a core of sweet ripe fruit, and a mineral-driven finish that lingers long on the palate. Overall, this is an impressive Riesling Smaragd, with a well-defined personality, and great complexity.
