Rudi Pichler Roter Veltliner, Wachau, Austria

點擊次數(shù)：3154

There are 400 bottles of Pichler’s 2006 Roter Veltliner which constitutes a normal crop after the penury of 2005. As rich and voluminous as this wine is, it invites you to plunge rather than sip. What you find is an unusual juxtaposition of green rhubarb preserves, toasted almonds and coffee. Full but firm in finish and with a trace of heat that won’t be noticeable if you are putting it through its paces at the table, this should be more interesting after a couple of years in bottle and worth keeping for at least 7-9 years.Rudi Pichler picked and vinified with his usual sensitivity, thereby achieving a surprisingly broad stylistic range, even though the total length of harvest was unusually short. Flowering here just escaped the period of intense June heat that led to a reduced crop at most Wachau addresses.Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700
