White wine. Wachau, Austria. Sustainable. 100% Grüner Veltliner. "Bottled in April and partly from the first pickings in the terraces of the top vineyards and partly from the latest picking on the valley floor, FX Pichler's 2021 Dürnsteiner Grüner Veltliner offers a beautifully clear, intense and elegant nose with a stony and even flinty character and the typical coolish Wachau spiciness. On the palate, this is a medium to full-bodied, dense and elegant, vital and lively Veltliner with structured fruit, grip and stable, saline acidity that carries the wine to a sustainable and tensioned finish. Stimulating bitter notes here." — 92 Points, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate (December 2022)
