✨ Technical Specifications
Ried Klostersatz is one of the oldest recorded vineyard sites in the Wachau, its name paying homage to the Salzburg monasteries ('Kloster') that cultivated these soils during the Middle Ages. Situated on a flat, ancient river terrace of the Danube in Oberloiben, the terroir is characterized by deep soils of fine loess, sand, and river gravels. This unique soil composition allows the vines to absorb warmth easily, resulting in a Grüner Veltliner of exceptional aromatic lift, juicy stone fruit character, and a refined, mineral-driven acidity. F.X. Pichler crafts this wine with meticulous hand-harvesting and gentle aging in large, neutral Austrian oak casks, preserving the vibrant purity and classic white pepper spice of the variety.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1898 in the village of Oberloiben in Austria's prestigious Wachau region, Weingut F.X. Pichler is globally celebrated as a benchmark producer of world-class white wines. Elevated to international renown by Franz Xaver (F.X.) Pichler and guided today by Lucas Pichler, the estate adheres to a meticulous viticultural philosophy centered on terroir precision, minimal cellar intervention, and the expression of ancient, primary rock terraces. Sourced from legendary steep vineyard sites such as Kellerberg, Loibenberg, and Steinertal, their dry white wines showcase extraordinary concentration, minerality, and tension. The winery is particularly famed for its powerful, age-worthy Grüner Veltliner and Riesling bottlings, highlighted by monumental flagship cuvées like 'Unendlich'.
