F. X. Winery.Pichler operates in the Wachau region of Austria and has been in the hands of the Pichler family for five generations.Franz Xaver took over the farm in 1971, and today it comprises about 20 hectares of vineyards.The producer specializes exclusively in white wines, primarily Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, which are renowned for their purity, concentration, and longevity.The vineyards are located both on rocky terraces and on alluvial soils in the Danube Valley, resulting in a variety of styles and expressions of terroir.

The wine comes from the Ried Klostersatz vineyard in Loiben, in the heart of Austria's Wachau region.It is one of the oldest vineyards in the region, originally established by monks and now prized for its gravelly-sandy alluvial soils deposited by the Danube.They contribute to the production of wines with distinct minerality and elegance.The 2024 vintage is Pichler's first officially certified organic release.Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using natural yeast, and the wine is then aged on its lees for several months, which adds depth and a creamy texture while preserving its freshness.
