F.X. Pichler Loibner Burgstall Riesling 2022 Vintage WS92 Rated

From the sun-drenched slopes of Austria’s Wachau region comes FX Pichler’s 2022 Riesling—a mineral-driven white wine that balances elegance and intensity. Crafted by renowned producer FX Pichler, this award-winning vintage earned 92 points from Wine Spectator for its harmonious blend of ripe stone fruit flavors and crisp acidity. With aromas of peak-season peach and apricot intertwined with hints of acacia and fennel, this wine captivates from the first sniff.

On the palate, it delivers a lush yet agile experience—think juicy apple and white tea notes lifted by a saline-mineral backbone. The steely acidity and chalky texture create a refreshing contrast that lingers long on the finish. Perfectly poised between richness and brightness, it showcases the Wachau’s terroir through its structured complexity and aging potential until 2030.

Ideal for pairing with seafood or creamy cheeses, this Riesling’s vibrant acidity cuts through richness while its mineral undertones add depth to lighter dishes. At 13% alcohol, it remains crisp and approachable yet layered enough for cellaring.

FX Pichler’s meticulous winemaking shines here—reductive techniques preserve freshness without sacrificing clarity, resulting in a wine that’s both precise and inviting. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future savoring, this limited-release (40 cases imported) offers exceptional value for fans of age-worthy Austrian whites.
