The Riesling Piri from the Nigl winery in Senftenberg, near Krems, impresses with a complex bouquet that highlights fresh mint and white pepper, followed by ripe peach aromas and a delicate note of elderflower. This harmonious combination gives the wine a lively freshness, while the fine, precise acidity is perfectly integrated into the juicy fruit. This ensures a wonderfully balanced drinking pleasure and makes the Riesling accessible and pleasant.
The name "Piri" is derived from the three south-facing mica schist sites that characterize the special terroir of this wine. These sites share a unique microclimate that offers the grapes ideal ripening conditions. The grapes are harvested and matured together to fully showcase the special characteristics of these vineyards. The mineral influence of the mica schist is subtly reflected in the taste and gives the wine additional depth and character.
The Senftenberger Piri is a timeless classic that impresses year after year with its clear structure and elegance and has the potential to develop positively over several years.
