| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.8 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by RichardP on 10/14/2018 & rated 92 points: Distinct vanilla on the nose. On the palate, tart green apple, white peach, and lemon citrus with a note of vanilla. This shows a hint of sweetness, but it's more than balanced by strong mineral acidity. Excellent, and a very good to excellent value at about $35. (401 views) | | | Tasted by Baron Slick on 4/20/2014 & rated 91 points: Yellow, green appearance. Racy, stony nose of green apples, lemons, melon, vanilla, minerals, and a lick of salt. Long, broad, and complete, with ample body, lively acidity, generous balance, and citrus, green apple, and white pepper flavors. Long, ferrous, pithy finish. (995 views) | | | Tasted by asareh on 11/24/2012 & rated 91 points: Intense yellowish green color, nice nose with aroma of tobacco, incredible depth on the palate with a rich white chocolate, green apple and peach flavors balanced with lots of mineral taste –Finish is creamy and spicy. Was an excellent match with Scallops, vinaigrette and Thai peppers.

| Pichler-Krutzler"You may have felt that there were enough Pichlers to keep track of in the Wachau (the two estates regularly reviewed in these pages not being the only ones), but now there is another that will bear regular watching. F.X. Pichler’s daughter Elisabeth and her husband Erich Krutzler (whose brother continues to run their family’s winery in Sudburgenland, and who is involved in projects in Slovenia) have begun a domaine, to whose small acreage they are for now adding contract fruit. The fruits of their first harvest – utilizing the shared picking crew from F. X. Pichler – were all vinified and matured in stainless steel tanks, although they envision using mature large oaken ovals in future for at least some of their wines to the extent they can locate some (or purchase and break-in some new ones). As they are not – at least yet – members of the Vinea Wachau growers’ association, they cannot utilize the familiar stylistic designations Federspiel and Smaragd. (And if they persist in bottling a Sudburgenland Blaufrankisch under the same label – there is a gorgeous, mineral, bitter-sweet, tartly Barbera-like 2007 in the works – then Vinea Wachau regulations will forbid their membership.)" - David Schildknecht, The Wine AdvocateRiesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)Austria Wein aus Österreich (Österreichischen Weinmarketinggesellschaft) | Austrian Wine Classifications (Winemonger.com)Niederösterreich Weinstraße Niederösterreich
Lower Austria Wine Region
Lower Austria isn't "southern" Austria, but rather northeastern. It derives its name from its downriver location on the Danube River, which flows from west to east.Wachau Official tourism website
