Weingut F. X. Pichler, Family winery in Dürnstein, Austria.
Weingut F. X. Pichler is a family operation in the Wachau region that grows Grüner Veltliner and Riesling on vineyards spread across several sites. The vines grow on steep slopes above Dürnstein, where river climate and limestone soils suit these varieties.
The estate was founded by Franz Xaver Pichler and has remained in family hands through generations. His son Lucas took over and developed it into a recognized producer in the Wachau.
The wines come from parcels around Dürnstein, where steep slopes and the Danube River shape the climate. Visitors notice how location defines the character of each bottle.
Visitors can arrange tastings after contacting the winery, where production methods are explained in the vineyard or cellar. The location is in Oberloiben at the edge of town, with parking available.
A modern cellar was built in 2009 that uses new techniques but does not abandon old practices. This allows wines with fine structure and precision that differ from other producers.
