Rudi Pichler 2021 Gruner Veltliner Kollmutz Smaragd 750ml

Incredibly deep and youthful nose of the most amazing herb garden you can imagine! So richly textured, concentrated and incredibly precise that you wonder which way to turn! The incredibly long and invigorating finish leaves you literally breathless. Enormous aging potential.

Score: 98 points -- James Suckling, jamessuckling.com

Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. Smoky, notes of meadow herbs, fine nuances of yellow apple, dark mineral, candied orange zest. Medium complexity, fine fruit sweetness, fresh acid structure, discreet mango, finesse-rich and very persistent, mineral, LIME touch in the after taste, certain ageing potential.
