Weingut Rudi Pichler is a leading estate of Austria's Wachau Valley, with a family history of viticulture in Wösendorf dating back to 1731. Rudi farms around 15 hectares of vineyards spread across Wösendorf, Joching, Weißenkirchen and Mautern, on dramatic terraced slopes overlooking the Danube. Plantings are around 65% Grüner Veltliner, 30% Riesling and 5% Weißburgunder and Roter Veltliner.
The Terrassen Smaragd Riesling is a cuvée drawn from multiple terraced sites, blending the strengths of Rudi's holdings into one wine. As a Smaragd, it is a fully ripe, dry Riesling with concentration and finesse: white peach, citrus, fresh herbs and a fine, stony minerality on a textured, persistent palate.
Yields are kept low, with botrytis carefully removed by hand. Grapes are crushed by foot and given a short maceration on the skins of three to 36 hours, then vinified entirely in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation, in keeping with the strict Vinea Wachau codex. Rudi describes himself as a 'wine caretaker, not a winemaker'.
