✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic Ried Hollerin vineyard in the Wachau, this Smaragd Riesling by F.X. Pichler captures a unique expression of the region's complex terroir. Positioned at the foot of the warm, sun-drenched slopes near Dürnstein, the Hollerin vineyard features a soil composition of weathered primary rock (gneiss) topped with layers of loess and fine sand. This specific geology, combined with the cooling breezes from the Danube, coaxes an incredibly aromatic, elegant, and mineral-driven profile from the Riesling grape. Crafted under the strict Smaragd guidelines—the highest quality tier of the Vinea Wachau—this wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged in large, neutral oak casks to preserve its vibrant fruit and structural purity. Historically, the Hollerin site has been prized for producing wines of immense charm and early accessibility compared to its steeper, more austere neighbors, yet it retains the signature longevity and depth that defines the Pichler legacy.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Weingut F.X. Pichler blev grundlagt i 1898 i landsbyen Oberloiben i Østrigs prestigefyldte Wachau-region og regnes i dag på verdensplan for et absolut referencepunkt for hvidvine i verdensklasse. Vingården blev ført til international berømmelse af Franz Xaver (F.X.) Pichler og drives i dag af Lucas Pichler ud fra en kompromisløs filosofi, der sætter fokus på terroir-præcision, minimal intervention i kælderen og det rene udtryk fra de ældgamle terrasser af urgrund. Tørre hvidvine fra legendariske, stejle parceller som Kellerberg, Loibenberg og Steinertal udmærker sig ved en ekstraordinær koncentration, mineralitet og spændstighed. Huset er især berømt for sine kraftfulde, lagringsværdige Grüner Veltliner- og Riesling-vine, der kulminerer i monumentale flagskibscuvéer som 'Unendlich'.
