Pichler Riesling Loibner Ried Loibenberg - 2022 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLoibenberg is known for its rich, bold and elegant wines. The Riesling is a dense and full-bodied, with noteworthy mineral and stone-like notes, a fruity texture of tropical fruits over peach and apricot flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWines from the Loibenberg are usually approachable and animated in their youth and continue to evolve exceptionally with cellar aging. The results are rewarding after many years or even decades of bottle aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Loibenberg is one of the steepest and most barren terraced vineyards in Loiben. This site is also one of the largest continuous individual vineyard sites in the Wachau, almost entirely south-facing, sun-blessed and warm. During the day the sun warms up the dry-stone terraces, and this retained heat is gradually released during the evening hours back into the vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high-grade bedrock soil is geologically dominated by Gföhler gneiss, a transformation rock that consists of acidic, granite-like protoliths. The sandy-stony soils naturally provide ample water drainage, thus encouraging root growth. The soil also warms up rapidly during springtime and ensures early budding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErosion on the inclines has resulted in a beneficial mixture of calcareous loess sediment from the Ice Age, that in turn promotes progressive soil development by natural decalcification, which explains a minimal amount of carbonate present in the topsoil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Loibenberg can be traced back to the year 1381, when the name “leub_n perig” was recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat a staggering nose of yellow peach, mandarin orange, pineapple, star fruit and a slew of wild herbs this dry riesling has, yet this is not a jot loud or extravagant. Ripe and creamy yet so vibrant and precise this squares the riesling circle. Breathtakingly fresh and intense at the super-long finish. Enormous aging potential. From organically grown grapes. Vegan.

The palate is smooth, with supple yeast and ripe juiciness on its medium body, yet the citrus flavors perfume and guide this forward. The finish, however, belongs to zesty, tingling bright and ripe citrus. This is a concentrated and linear wine.
