Austria's icon and finest wine producer - FX Pichler. One of the top wineries in Austria, specifically located in the Wachau Valley. The winery itself was created on 1898. Of the 18 hectares owned by a family, almost a half are planted to Riesling, the rest is almost entirely Grüner Veltliner.
The wine:
Riesling Federspiel Loibner Burgstall
This wine is strong and clear, fruit-driven Riesling with mineral notes. Love it. — 8 years ago
Tasted a few FX today. This one had a unique mini dusty juniper pop on the nose. Or something. That was cool. Weygandt tasting. — 9 years ago
My last bottle. Drank like a champ tonight. Dusty and peppery Cab Franc with the just right amount of funk. FX Barc Cab Franc! — 9 years ago

2012 FX Pichler 'Urgestein Terrassen' Smaradg #Grüner #Wachau #Austrianwine. Intense nose of green grass, honeydew and white pepper with yellow apple and Asian pear on a long, smooth mineral finish. Texture is thick for Grüner. This is a serious #wine. #sommelier #sommlife #wineporrn #winepimping — 10 years ago
