F.X. Pichler is a revered family-run estate in the Wachau Valley, Austria, celebrated for its meticulous white wines that reflect the region's unique terroir.
- WINEMAKER: Lucas Pichler
- FARMING: Practicing organic
- VARIETY: 100% Riesling
- TERROIR: Ried Kellerberg is a steep, south-facing vineyard above the Danube, composed of weathered gneiss and minimal topsoil. Its exposure, altitude, and excellent drainage create ideal conditions for producing structured, mineral-driven Riesling with intensity and finesse.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are hand-harvested and whole-cluster pressed after a short maceration; fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks.
- AGING: Aged several months on fine lees in stainless steel to enhance complexity while maintaining purity.
- TASTING NOTES: Bright and focused, showing aromas of lime leaf, white peach, green tea, and crushed stone. The palate is racy and mineral-laden, with taut acidity, layered citrus, and a long, precise finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with sashimi, Vietnamese lemongrass pork, Alsatian tartes flambées, or citrus-marinated shellfish.
