2016 F.X. Pichler Grüner Veltliner Smaragd "M" 0,75 Liter

The F.X. Pichler Grüner Veltliner Smaragd "M" 2016 is a prestigious white wine from Austria’s Wachau region, crafted by F.X. Pichler from select old-vine parcels. This 2016 Smaragd displays a bright gold hue and a complex nose of ripe peach, green apple, and white pepper, with hints of elderflower, wet stone, and subtle spice. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a mineral-driven core, and a long, elegant finish with a touch of creamy complexity. Fermented and aged in large oak casks, this wine reflects the diverse terroirs of Wachau. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a luxurious dining experience. With nearly a decade of aging, it is at its peak, showcasing mature, honeyed complexity, and is best enjoyed now. This "M" showcases Pichler’s mastery of crafting iconic Wachau whites with elegance and power, ideal for enthusiasts seeking a collectible Grüner Veltliner with depth and finesse.
