Rudi Pichler is among the elite growers of the Wachau producing wines of precision, power, and longevity. The cellar is based in the village of Wösendorf where generations of Pichlers have tended vines since 1731. Rudolph Pichler, III took over the winery in 1997 and has since expanded the vineyards and constructed a modern cellar in 2004. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling make up 95% of the production with the remaining 5% shared between Weißburgunder and Roter Veltliner. Rudi Pichler belongs to the prestigious Vinea Wachau and vinifies under the strict parameters of their codex. He was awarded Falstaff’s Vintner of the Year in 2010.
Falstaff Review:
Light golden yellow, silver reflections. Delicately smoky-herbal savoriness, fresh pear, a touch of mango, some honey blossom. Taut, nuances of white stone fruit, fine structure, tightly meshed, delicate grapefruit zest, good length, a multi-layered food companion.
