F X Pichler Loibner Ried Klostersatz Gruner Veltliner 2022

Tasting Notes

The Ried Klostersatz is one of the oldest vineyards in Wachau to be cultivated by the Bavarian and Salzburg monasteries, The vineyard is situated on south, south-west facing slopes at 200 metres altitude in the Loibner basin, within the dramatic curve of the Danube River between Dürnstein and Oberloiben. This results in excellent sun exposure. The remarkably deep soil composition, made of shallow sandy topsoil and underlying gravel and pebble soils, provides the vines with drainage and heat retention. This encourage the grapes to ripen gradually, resulting in the development of complex aromatics.
