FX Pichler, 'M' Gruner Veltliner 2019

For us, vinification is comparable to the birth of a new-born; the wine develops during the course of its creation process through affection, care and guidance, up to its perfection. The natural cultivation of the vineyards and the careful handling of winemaking with minimal intervention in processing and vinification are the basis of authentic wines. We are currently in the transitional process to become a certified organic winery from the 2022 vintage.

The winery of F. X. Pichler has been in the hands of the Pichler family for five generations and is located in the Wachau Valley. The vineyards are concentrated on the southern side of the Danube and are planted in steep terraces, originating from the 13th century.F. X. Pichler only produces white wines: Grüner Veltliner, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. Since 1999 Lucas Pichler is responsible for the vinification, while his farther F.X. continues to meticulously take care of the vines. Their philosophy is to produce world class wines. They want to craft wines that reflect the year, the soil and the special microclimate of the Wachau. The subtle nuances of each single vineyard are to be experienced and tasted in their multi-layered uniqueness.
