The white wine Grüner Veltliner Smaragd M, vintage 2008 from the winery Weingut F. X. Pichler has been rated in 2009 with 96 - 98 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Grüner Veltliner from the region Wachau in Austria.
Medium green yellow. Fine herbal savouriness on the nose, delicate honey notes, a hint of dried fruit, tobacco-smoky nuances, multi-layered. Full-bodied and complex on the palate, delicate dark fruit, a hint of liquorice, very powerful finish, opulent but supported by a fresh acid structure, salty minerality, definitely needs some bottle ageing to mature itself optimally. A wine with plenty of "lard".
