Weingut F.X. Pichler Grüner Veltliner 'Ried Kellerberg' 2024
Vintage Character
Weingut F.X. Pichler Grüner Veltliner "Ried Kellerberg" 2024 is a dry white Wachau Smaragd from one of the region’s most revered single vineyards. The 2024 vintage was shaped by spring frost pressure that curtailed yields in parts of Austria, and in top Wachau sites that smaller crop can translate into added concentration and definition. Ried Kellerberg rises steeply above the Danube on ancient terraces, where poor, stony soils with a strong gneiss influence help Grüner Veltliner deliver both power and the cool, mineral line that makes this origin so distinctive.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Expect a layered, serious style: aromas of ripe yellow apple, pear and white peach are lifted by citrus zest, white pepper, herbs and a smoky, stony nuance. The palate is broad yet precise, with a creamy texture from lees contact, medium-high acidity, and a dry, driving finish that carries spice and mineral tension. This is a natural partner for roast pork with crackling, butter-poached lobster, or veal schnitzel, dishes that echo the wine’s combination of richness, freshness and savory detail.
Winery Background
F.X. Pichler is one of Wachau’s benchmark estates, built by the Pichler family into an international reference point for ageworthy, site-expressive wines. Under Lucas Pichler, the philosophy remains uncompromising: meticulous work in steep vineyards, selective hand harvesting, and a cellar approach designed to preserve each ried’s identity rather than mask it. Fermentations are typically slow and controlled, with élevage in stainless steel and large neutral oak tailored to the lot, a method that gives Kellerberg its hallmark union of concentration, textural depth and crystalline precision.
