Pichler-Krutzler : Riesling Ried Loibenberg 2019

The 2019 Ried Loibenberg Riesling is deep, intense and precise and has darker tones on the flinty and spicy nose that shows perfectly ripe but still fresh fruit intertwined with stony aromas. Full-bodied, dense and intense on the palate, this is a concentrated yet also minerally structured and vital Loibenberg with phenolic grip on the finish that is currently challenging but will fade over the years in the bottle. 13.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in June 2021.

The peach, mango and papaya aromas pour from the glass, but the smoky note beautifully counterpoints this rich, concentrated dry riesling that has wonderful succulence wrapped around the excellent structure. Lavish yet precise finish. Drink or hold.
