F.X. Pichler Grüner Veltliner Ried Loibenberg 2024

F.X. Pichler Grüner Veltliner Ried Loibenberg Organic 2024 comes from one of the Wachau’s most iconic vineyards. Ried Loibenberg, one of the steepest and most austere slopes in Loiben, faces almost entirely south, receiving plenty of sunshine. The producer describes it as the source of opulent, dense yet elegant wines, with a mineral, smoky and tobacco-like character. The 2024 vintage was challenging in the Wachau, with a wet winter, a warm spring and late frosts, followed by a very hot summer and even flooding during the harvest. Despite this, the wines are elegant and very pure. At Loibenberg, the result was a Grüner Veltliner of great depth, already very expressive, but clearly made to age in the bottle.

Vinification: The estate treats its single-vineyard plots as a true heritage of the Wachau. In 2024, this wine is released as a Wachau DAC, organically produced, with 13% ABV, reflecting F.X. Pichler’s commitment to an increasingly precise interpretation of the terroir.

Tasting notes: Nose: wild herbs, white and orchard fruit, grapefruit zest and a hint of orange. Palate: complex, full-bodied and very elegant, with well-integrated acidity, fresh apple, a tight structure and a long, mineral and salty finish. It also has notes of ripe stone fruit, pomelo peel, tea, tobacco, red apple and almond skin, highlighting the wine’s tannic tension and length.

This medium- to full-bodied, structured white has firm layers and almost savory aromas of ripe stone fruit, pomelo rind, tea leaves, tobacco, red apples and almond skin. Lots of bite and tannic tension that carries through to a long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Light yellow green, silver reflections. Delicate notes of meadow herbs, white pomaceous fruit, a hint of grapefruit zest, orange touch. Complex, full-bodied, tight-knit, elegant, fresh apple, integrated acidity, salty with pronounced minerality on the finish, still needs time, will benefit from further bottle ageing.
