TASTING NOTES
High above the Danube, on the famous Steiner Pfaffenberg, the vines that give us this wine grow. The soils are arid and are composed of crystalline primary rock dominated by gneiss and mica schists. Simply perfect for Riesling. Since 2017 these lands has been prepared following the guidelines of organic viticulture and processed exclusively by hand, while the wine and the cellar are certified organic since 2019 - AT-BIO 402. The vines are 35 years old and the manual harvest has begun in mid-October. The fermentation and maturation of the wine lasts 5-6 months in stainless steel. A cornucopia of stone fruit, as well as notes of carambola, mangosteen and tropical herbs envelop you in this expressive and lively dry riesling. A good concentration goes well with a medium-bodied but light palate, some discreet tannins perfectly support the long finish rich in hints of wet stone. Screw cap. Drink now and until 2035.
Discover Cantina Pichler-Krutzler in the Wachau region and its fine wines in our online store
In 2006 Elisabeth Pichler and Erich Krutzler founded their winery in the Wachau region. Both come from families belonging to the wine world, they have created together unique wines with a noble soul, based on respect for nature, through sustainable viticulture. Pichler-Krutzler wines reflect the territory from which they come. These are wines harvested, refined and bottled without any assembly. The vineyards, mainly Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, extend over stone terraces and can only be cultivated by hand. This is where a particular microclimate is created, influenced by the front, by the mild temperatures of Pannonia from the east by the cold winds that blow down from the valleys. The Wachau region, where these unique and quality wines are born, is in fact a real jewel recognized as World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
