Pichler, F.X. - Grüner Veltlliner Ried Kellerberg 2020

FALSTAFF: "Leuchtendes mittleres Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Nuancen von frischem weißem Apfel, ein Hauch von Wildkräutern, zarte Nuancen von Mango und Mandarinenzesten, mineralische Noten. Komplex, saftig, elegant und gut balanciert, frischer Säurebogen, facettenreicher Abgang mit salzigem Touch, sehr gute Länge, ein Hauch von Ananas im Nachhall, pikanter Stil."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2020 Ried Kellerberg Grüner Veltliner is fascinatingly coolish, complex and precise on the leafy nose that shows tobacco aromas along with peppery and very spicy notes with graphite and lemon notes. Racy on the start, this is a piquant, firm and close-meshed, very mineral yet also juicy Kellerberg GV with lovely grip, tension and lingering salinity. The finish is pleasantly bitter. A great wine! Tasted as a sample in June 2021, to be bottled in July. 2020 is the first vintage Lucas Pichler doesn't use the predicates of the Vinea anymore since he left the group earlier this year."
