Weingut F.X. Pichler, Wachau Grüner Veltliner Steinertal 2024 White

The Weingut F.X. Pichler Wachau Grüner Veltliner Steinertal 2024 comes from one of Austria’s most respected estates and one of the Wachau’s distinguished vineyard sites. A powerful yet finely balanced expression of Grüner Veltliner, it combines the grape’s characteristic freshness and savoury precision with the depth associated with the Wachau’s premium Smaragd style.

Tasting Notes
Bright and elegant in appearance, this wine is expected to show the concentrated, mineral character typical of Grüner Veltliner from the Wachau. The nose often reveals ripe orchard fruit, citrus, white pepper and subtle herbal notes, supported by a distinct stony minerality. On the palate, it should offer generous texture and concentration, balanced by lively acidity and a long, savoury finish with the grape’s classic peppery edge. Its structure and site expression make it well suited to development in bottle. While approachable with air in its youth, the wine should gain additional complexity over the next several years, with careful cellaring potentially revealing more pronounced mineral, nutty and savoury nuances.

Production
Steinertal is a steep, terraced Wachau vineyard where the vines benefit from intense sun exposure, cool nighttime temperatures and lean, stony soils. F.X. Pichler’s vineyards are worked with great care, including on terraces that require significant manual labour, and the estate is known for rigorous selection in the vineyard and cellar. Specific harvesting and vinification details for the 2024 cuvée are not provided, but the estate’s style focuses on expressing the individual vineyard through precise, terroir-led winemaking.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at around 10–12°C, allowing the wine to open gradually in the glass. Its concentration and savoury freshness make it an excellent match for roast chicken, Wiener schnitzel, grilled or poached fish, shellfish, asparagus and refined vegetable dishes. It can be enjoyed without decanting, although a short period of aeration or serving from a spacious white-wine glass will help reveal its full aromatic depth.

Producer
Weingut F.X. Pichler is an iconic Wachau producer, recognised for its steep, hand-worked terraces at sites such as Kellerberg and Loibenberg. The estate has built its reputation on authenticity, strict grape selection and wines that clearly reflect their origin, ranging from vibrant, fresh styles to rich and age-worthy Smaragd wines. Its consistent focus on precision and terroir has made F.X. Pichler one of the leading names in the Austrian wine scene.
