Store notes: From the Wachau, we are happy to present you, one of Austria's top producers, F.x. Pichler, one of the icons of Austrian winemaking and viticulture. The 2018 Ried Burgstall Riesling Federspiel comes from wind-blown sand over pure gneiss and granite. It is super clear and fresh on the aromatic nose with its perfectly ripe white peach and apricot aromas. This voluminous wine is big and subtle at the same time. Salty, pure and fresh on the crunchy, nicely reductive palate, a precise dry Riesling with grip and tension and highly stimulating fruit, while maintaining mineral freshness. Gorgeous! It is ripe and fresh but not green or vegetal, just grippy and refreshingly racy. A little bird told us this is poured by-the-glass at The French Laundry. We do not doubt it. It is so versatile and food friendly. The Burgstall vineyard refers to a crag bedrock plateau towering some 30 meters, bordering on Unterloiben to the east. The name goes back to a small fortification that was built in the Middle Ages to defend livestock against pillages and the site was first mentioned in a document in 1248. This sun-drenched and breezy vineyard is situated at the westernmost end of this rock terrace and the soils consist of pure gneiss and granite, with a shallow topsoil of sand.This distinctive terroir is ideal for vibrant, mineral-like Rieslings with fruit purity and precision. |
