Welcome to the Austrian Grüner Veltliner archetype. The Loibner is one of the regional releases from F.X. Pichler, and it's a picture-perfect wine. Yellow apples, fresh and dried herbs, white pepper, and such a wonderful balance between crunch and fruit.

Truly one of Austria's most iconic producers, the giant bottles of F.X. Pichler Riesling & Grüner are benchmarks of what the stunning slopes of the Wachau region can deliver. The wine world often likes to use the word 'minerally' to describe any white wines, but if you want an example of what a super pure wine tastes like, these crystalline whites are near perfect. Unquestionably, the renowned old vineyards on the side of the Danube are a big part of the story at F.X. Pichler, but at every step, this is winemaking with no compromise. Grapes are picked in multi-stages to get perfect ripeness, and the long, slow maturation in traditional large oak barrels all adds up to sublime expressions of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling. Oh yes, this is the top top shelf of Austrian white wine!
