2010 Grüner Veltliner Liebenberg Smaragd, F.X. Pichler

2010 Grüner Veltliner Liebenberg Smaragd, F.X. Pichler

Translating as “the mountain of love”, this is a new vineyard for the Pichlers, with south-east exposure and 60 year old vines. More tropical than Loibnerberg, showing notes of white currant and a musky richness. Intense and vibrant, this is a tremendous Grüner Veltliner and would be ideal with Asian dishes, as well as roasted pork and veal.

Weingut 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. 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.
