FX Pichler are perhaps the greatest white wine producer of Austria, making a range of phenomenal dry whites from perilously steep terraced vineyards in the Wachau region, overlooking the river Danube. This exceptional dry Riesling from the renowned Loibenberg vineyard is part barrel-aged. It offers up delicate yellow peach, limes and hints of honey. On the palate, the focused mineral acidity balances the broad texture adds wonderful length and great ageing potential to the wine.

Details

F.X. Pichler is perhaps the greatest white wine producer of Austria. Located in Wachau, a region so remarkably beautiful it has earned a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Pichler family have been farmers in the region for five generations. Franz Xaver (F.X.) built a winery in 1971, and his son Lucas makes the wines today.

Lucas’ grandfather began with three hectares of land, which has now grown to 20 hectares of organically farmed vineyards.

The climate in the Wachau is influenced by several sources: the moderating Danube River, cold air from the forests in Waldviertel and Dunkelsteiner and warm air from the Pannonian basin.

The Loibenberg, one of Wachau’s largest single vineyards, is planted on austere primitive rock with a warm and sunny southerly exposure. The Riesling from this vineyard is opulent and intense with ripe peach and apricot notes.
