Durnsteiner Kellerberg Riesling Smaragd 2023 F.X. Pichler

Professional reviews

James Suckling (100)

The devil isn’t in the details but in the very center of the peaches and mangoes. Amazing freshness, vitality and finesse on the superfocused, medium-bodied palate. What makes this stand out is the incredibly stony finish, a touch austere for some, but who can resist the ultimate in minerality? From organically grown grapes. Vegan.

The 2023 Riesling Kellerberg has immense and fragrant freshness, almost of Seville orange and distinct notions of crushed citrus foliage. The palate is taut and has lots of tension but shimmers with tangerine peel amidst all this brightness. The 2023 is lovely, tense, fine-boned and concentrated. It's a stony, brilliant Riesling in a pool of shimmering citrus notes.
