Rudi Pichler Riesling Terrassen Smaragd 2018

Selective harvest by hand during mid October. Destemed. Fermented with wild yeast. Malolactic fermentation. Matured in stainless-steel tanks on the lees. Ripe yellow peach underlaid with nuances of honey, attractive bouquet. Juicy, white fruits, well integrated acidity, citric, fine minerality, orange peel on  the finish! 

"Viticultural colleges and creative writing workshops impart a middling degree of capability, and nothing beyond that. The complex process of conscious construction and spontaneously appropriate reaction is something that cannot be taught. Here, the signature becomes distinctive, whether in literature or wine. There are certain winegrowers in the Wachau whose imprint is unmistakeable.
One of these is Rudi Pichler" -Benno Hurt, author
