Riesling "Ried Burgstall"
From soils of of pure gneiss and granite, this Riesling is a radiant pale straw colour, offering a glimpse into its lively character. The aromatic bouquet is a symphony of citrus blossoms, green apple, and hints of white peach, creating an inviting and refreshing sensory experience. On the palate, the wine displays a wonderful balance of acidity and texture. Crisp and vibrant, the citrus notes take center stage, with zesty lemon and lime blending with the subtle sweetness of ripe orchard fruits. A mineral undertone adds complexity, contributing to the wine's overall precision and finesse. The finish is clean, leaving a lingering impression of citrus zest. This Riesling perfectly exemplifies the classic elegance of the Wachau region, and showcases FX Pichler's will to craft wines that express both varietal character and terroir. Approachable in its youth, yet with the potential for graceful aging, this is a delightful choice for those seeking a harmonious balance of fruit and acidity.
F.X. Pichler
Based in Austria’s most prestigious region, the Wachau, F.X. Pichler are one of the world’s foremost producers of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. They are truly monumental dry white wines. Franz Xaver (the eponymous F.X.) inherited the estate in 1971, and was instrumental in the rise to prominence of both his family’s winery and the Wachau. His son Lucas (the fifth generation) now makes the wine, but F.X. is still an active presence in the vineyards.
