該酒散發著酸橙、蘋果和生姜的清新氣味，帶有非常濃郁的果香風味，易讓人想到 Pichler 2010 年份的 Riesling Federspiel，而金銀花和蘋果花的氣味則讓人想到 Mosel 產區的酒。該酒有種類似蝦殼的味道，非常美味，而這種味道在 2010 年份 Austrian Rieslings 中事不常遇到的。此酒酒質清澈，余味極具活力，清爽提神，現在飲用已經十分美味，如果再珍藏十年，效果更佳。

Bright salted lime, snappy green apple, and pungent herbs are featured in Pichler’s 2007 Riesling Federspiel, reflecting the invigorating but rather brusque side of relatively early-harvested wines from this vintage. In appropriate culinary contexts, and over the next 2-3 years, it should be useful to have on hand. Pichler’s 2007s differ very little in gross chemistry from his 2006s – including the high alcohol of several Gruner Veltliner – yet they have dramatically different personalities. Pichler compares them with his 1997s, and perhaps time in bottle will more clearly bear out that high praise. Rudi Pichler is a great believer in watchfully letting nature take its course and although some of his 2007s came in with pH levels many growers would consider alarmingly high he gave no thought to adjusting them, and the finished wines bear him out, displaying the vivacity and freshness typical of 2007.Importer: Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.
