FX Pichler
In Dürnstein, FX Pichler has been writing Wachau history since 1898, with vineyards split between Loiben and Dürnstein and carved into steep terraces of ancient rock. Sites like Kellerberg and Loibenberg are not just names here—they are the coordinates of the estate’s style.
Because the slopes allow no shortcuts, much is done by hand: selective picking, strict sorting, gentle pressing and a cellar regime built on precision and time. Extended lees contact and patient maturation are used to knit texture and preserve the cool, stony energy of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner.
The house also chooses its own route in the region’s evolving framework, aligning with the clarity of Wachau DAC while keeping an independent voice. In the glass, Dürnstein reads as structure and mineral tension—dense, defined, and quietly relentless.FX Pichler
