Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Achleithen PW Wachau

A Grüner Veltliner with density and pull: The Smaragd Ried Achleithen from Rudi Pichler shows how much substance and precision this grape variety contains when it is grown in the right vineyard.

The Ried Achleithen is located in Weißenkirchen in the Wachau, on steep, southwest-facing terraces. Gföhler gneiss as well as gneiss and amphibolite layers shape the soil. The vines are over 50 years old, their yields provide a concentrated base with a clear structure. The Rudi Pichler winery is one of the well-known addresses in Weißenkirchen.

On the nose, yellow apple and pear meet citrus zest, herbal spice, and white pepper, plus a fine stony note. On the palate, the wine is dry, dense, and precise, with powerful substance and taut acidity. The finish is long and salty-mineral.

Recommendation: Serve it at 10 to 12 °C with fried zander, Wiener Schnitzel, asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or hearty hard cheese like mountain cheese.

The Winery

Weingut Rudi Pichler

Rudi Pichler Winery – this is Wachau in its purest form. The Pichler family has been cultivating wine in Wösendorf since 1731, and you can taste these centuries in every glass: as tranquility, as depth, as an unmistakable signature.

On 15 hectares, mainly Grüner Veltliner and Riesling grapes grow – in vineyards whose soils originate from ancient loess and Danube river sediments. This interplay of geology, microclimate, and the skill of a winemaker who works not by recipe but by feel, makes Rudi Pichler's wines so special. Pure, precise, vibrant.
