{"product_id":"fx-pichler-gruner-veltliner-smaragd-m-2007","title":"FX Pichler, Gruner Veltliner Smaragd \"M\", 2007","description":"The Pichlers' single-vineyard wines are meant to show soil and origin, and the \"M\" is where they deliberately set that aside and go for richness, density and concentration first. The letter stands for Monumental. The first Grüner Veltliner M, made in 1991, was meant as a monument to the grape, and the family insists that every M has to stand clearly apart from their Ried bottlings. The blend changes from year to year. Most of it comes from the oldest terraces on the Loibenberg, one of the steepest and most barren slopes in Loiben, almost entirely south-facing, with sandy, stony soil over Gföhler gneiss. The rest is a careful selection from several top sites lower down. The M grapes usually stay on the vine one to two weeks after the estate's other top wines have been picked, and the Grüner version is always made dry. The family says the M is built to last for decades, and this 2007 has had well over fifteen years to show whether they're right. As a bonus, it still carries the Smaragd designation from before the estate left the Vinea Wachau growers' association in 2020.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50524988964921,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-185-20","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/FX-Pichler-Gruner-Veltliner-Smaragd-M-2007-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_b1052ead.jpg?v=1790154765","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/fx-pichler-gruner-veltliner-smaragd-m-2007","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
