Product Description
The wine is Fermented in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is stored in large old Austrain oak barrels with capacities of 3,000-5,000 litres. The wine ages on fine lees for six months before being bottled in August. The nose is pure with hints of lime and peach kernel. The palate is racy but rich.
wine score
95 points Wine Enthusiast
" FX Pichler is one of the greatest producers in the Wachau. Grown on south and southwest facing slopes, the weathered mica, schist and gneiss soils of the Liebenberg vineyard contribute to the white pepper spice and mineral notes that underpin the rich, orchard fruits in the full-bodied white. "
