Rudi Pichler - 2024 - Rudi Pichler Riesling Smaragd Hochrain - 750 ml.

Rudi Pichler Riesling Smaragd Hochrain is a 2024 vintage white wine from Niederosterreich, Austria. Producer: Rudi Pichler. Supplier-listed varietal/composition: Riesling. Format: 750 ml.

Smaragd is the ripest of the Wachau's three dry-white tiers, sitting above Steinfeder and Federspiel with a minimum alcohol near 12.5 percent; since the Wachau DAC took effect with the 2020 harvest, those terms are written into denomination law and not only into growers' practice. Rudi Pichler's 2024 Riesling comes off Hochrain, a terraced site on the slopes above the Danube.
