WINE DESCRIPTION
Rudi Pichler Wösendorfer Kirchweg Riesling Smaragd is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Austrian winemaker Rudi Pichler. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the Wösendorfer Kirchweg vineyard, located in the Wachau region of Austria. The vineyard is known for its steep terraces and rocky soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes are carefully handpicked and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve their delicate aromas and flavors. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Riesling, with notes of citrus, stone fruit, and a hint of honey. The wine is full-bodied and rich, with a long and satisfying finish. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and spicy Asian dishes.
