Riesling Smaragd Achleithen PW Wachau

The Riesling Smaragd Ried Achleithen from the Rudi Pichler winery is a taut, mineral-driven Wachau Riesling with plenty of pull and depth. It grows on the stone terraces of the Weissenkirchen Achleithen, an extreme vineyard with a southwest orientation.

The vines stand on barren soils of Gföhler gneiss. They produce a puristic wine that clearly shows its origin. Smaragd stands in the Wachau for the ripest and most full-bodied level of the Vinea Wachau, vinified dry here.

On the nose, grapefruit, orange, and lemon meet ripe apple, mango, and papaya, plus fine stone notes and a hint of herbal spice. On the palate, it is powerful and precise, with dense texture and a taut arc of acidity. The finish is long, salty, and mineral.

Recommendation: Serve it at 10 to 12 °C, ideally in a large white wine glass. It goes well with fried zander, crayfish, Wiener Schnitzel with lemon, or aged 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.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
