Rudi Pichler Weissenkirchner Achleithen Riesling Smaragd 2021

Deep and interesting wine with a rich, mellow mouthfeel and a deep, warm colour. The aroma is defined by by the sweet, ripe scent of peaches, with a light whisper of smokiness and a touch of dustiness. The taste is gentle and rounded, with a subtle bracing quality that gives way to a rich, fruity mouthfeel. The flavours are layered and complex, with notes of pineapple, lychee, and orange, as well as a dash of vanilla and lime juice. The close is long and satisfying, with a mineralic and salty quality that continues on the palate. Overall, this wine is a true delight to drink, with a unique and captivating character that is sure to please even the most discerning palates.

Perfect 18-year-old, indeed.
