This Riesling has lifted aromas of tropical mango, apricot, honeysuckle and lime peel. On the palate, linear acidity is complemented by well-defined fruit and elegant structure, with excellent ageing potential.

The Ried Klostersatz is one of the oldest vineyards in Wachau to be cultivated by the Bavarian and Salzburg monasteries, The vineyard is situated on south, south-west facing slopes at 200 metres above sea level in the Loibner basin, within the dramatic curve of the Danube River between Dürnstein and Oberloiben. This results in excellent sun exposure. The remarkably deep soil composition, made of shallow sandy topsoil and underlying gravel and pebble soils, provides the vines with drainage and heat retention. This encourages the grapes to ripen gradually, resulting in the development of complex aromatics.

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.
