Unendlich Gruner Veltliner 2023 F.X. Pichler

Professionele reviews

James Suckling (99)

This is a show-stopping expression of gruner, full-bodied, rich and toasty, with opulent aromas of coconut, apricot jam, toast, tobacco, bitter vanilla bean and roasted yellow plums. Full-bodied and extremely concentrated, with a creamy texture and toasty, smoky and savory elements. Rich candied walnut and marmalade-on-toast notes linger in the finish, going on for minutes. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Vinous (97)

The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Unendlich is made from roughly half Loibenberg, with the remainder coming from equal parts Kellerberg and Liebenberg. The wine offers ripe, golden fruit without any shriveling or botrytis. It was fermented in large barrel and matured in 500-liter barrels, with slight batonnage. Smoky reduction melds with creamy oak and promises a bold wine. The palate, however, is neither big nor bold, but rather elegant and concentrated, with sinew and power. Texture and lasting power drive the wine forward, with slight savoriness and smooth pear.

Falstaff (100)

Medium greenish yellow, silver reflections. Fine lanolin touch, a hint of bourbon vanilla, white apple, floral touch, lime zest, meadow herbs, very multi-faceted bouquet. Complex and deep, light nougat, white apple again, some caramel, fine acidity, mineral and very long-lasting, an individualistic but very impressive style.
