This Riesling displays superb elegance and concentration. There are lifted aromas of peach, mandarin, lime and crushed stone on the nose. The palate is expertly balanced with vibrant acidity, glossy stone fruit and supple texture.

There is an international consensus that Kellerberg is the absolute model vineyard. The vertiginous, barren and purist primitive-rock terrace creates a very special microclimate. The Kellerberg vineyard benefits from the sun early in the morning and much-needed shade in the afternoons. At night, cool air currents from the surrounding woodlands help to retain aromatic freshness and provide complex texture and finely nuanced minerality, which produce tropical and seductive aromas in the wine. The fruit for this wine comes from south/south-eastern slopes at 200-330 metres above sea level.

F.X. Pichler is located in Wachau, a region so remarkably beautiful that it has earned a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Pichler family have farmed in the Wachau for five generations, with Franz Xaver (F.X.) building the winery in 1971, where his son Lucas makes the wines today. Lucas’ grandfather began the family legacy with just three hectares of vines, which has since grown to 20 hectares of organically farmed vineyards.
