The FX Pichler Unendlich Riesling Smaragd 2016 is a full-bodied white wine from the Wachau region of Austria. Crafted as a benchmark of the winery’s Riesling expertise, it primarily utilises grapes from the renowned Kellerberg vineyard, with select additional fruit from other esteemed locations. The 2016 growing season presented challenges, yet the resulting wine showcases notes of ripe apple, citrus and subtle spice, complemented by a pronounced mineral backbone. The palate reveals a precise balance of acidity and fruit, leading to an extended, saline finish.

Like its 2015 counterpart – and in a departure from earlier practice – this installment of “Unendlich” is sourced from the Kellerberg and Höhereck as well as the more usual Loibenberg. Around 10 percent of the fruit, reported Lucas Pichler, was shriveled though botrytis-free. The result is an intense concentrate of succulent pear, peach and apricot headily draped in wisteria and lent counterpoint by pit piquancy and smoky, ore-like earthiness. The lusciously lingering finish billows with inner-mouth floral perfume and practically glows with piquancy while avoiding outright bitterness or heat. David Schildknecht1st December 2018
