FX Pichler Loibner Ried Burgstall Riesling 2020
F.X. Pichler Ried Burgstall Riesling gets its name from a craggy bedrock plateau towering some 30 metres, bordering on Unterloiben to the east. The name goes back to a small fortification that was built in the Middle Ages to defend livestock against pillage and the site was first mentioned in a document in 1248. It is also assumed that the first settlement “Liupna” was located here, from which the village name Loiben may derive.
This sun-drenched and well-circulated vineyard is situated at the westernmost end of this rock terrace, and the soils consist of pure gneiss and granite, with a shallow topsoil of sand. This distinctive terroir is ideal for vibrant, minerally Rieslings with fruit purity and precision. Lovely white-peach, floral and basil nose. So juicy and so elegant with remarkable depth and precision for this humble category. Intense salinity at the long, limey finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap. 93 Points - Stuart Pigott, James Suckling
