like orange cognac…very thick on the first day. really opened up to a big orange pith on day 2! — 3 years ago
First experience with FX. His reputation jaded my initial thoughts with a combination of the wine being a little too cold. Once it warmed up, I got great body for it being a lighter style. Nice herbal note with trademark Gruner white pepper. The fruit was more on the melon side.  — 3 years ago
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:
