Descrizione

The Gruner Veltliner "Kellerberg" from Weingut F.X. Pichler represents an excellent example of how the terroir of Austria's Wachau region can express itself in a wine. This refined white is distinguished by its complex aromatic profile and vigorous structure.

Originating from the renowned Kellerberg area, known for its terraced soils and ideal microclimate for viticulture, the wine is characterized by a surprising balance between minerality and fruity intensity. On the nose, it offers nuances of green-fleshed fruits, such as green apple and pear, perfectly integrated with subtle notes of white pepper and a touch of aromatic herbs.

On the palate, the Gruner Veltliner "Kellerberg" is incisive and clean, with a vibrant freshness that leads to a persistent and slightly spicy finish. This bottle is ideal for accompanying elaborate fish dishes, seafood, or even as a refined aperitif. Its aging potential also makes it an excellent candidate to be enjoyed even after several years from the harvest.

Winery history

The family estate has roots in the Wachau, and the Pichler family has been active for several generations; the Oberloiben estate is already mentioned as early as the late 19th century, and current management comprises Lucas Franz Pichler together with Johanna Elisabeth, who continue the family tradition. In recent decades the winery has expanded its holdings into individual high-quality Rieden, developing a style focused on physiological ripeness and on expressing the vineyard.

Production philosophy

They seek to highlight the character of each individual vineyard rather than a uniform style: hand-harvesting on steep parcels, careful attention to the physiological ripeness of the grapes and massal selection to preserve varietal and site-specific characteristics. Sustainable and organic farming practices are also in place and are certified on the winery's website.

Terroir and vineyards

The winery is located in the Wachau, with vineyards around Oberloiben and Dürnstein. Among the Rieden mentioned are Loibenberg, Kellerberg, Klostersatz, Trum, Burgstall and Steinertal; many parcels are steep terraces with dry-stone walls, typical of the Wachau.
