The 2024 F.X. Pichler Loibner Grüner Veltliner is a dry Wachau white sourced from vineyards close to the Danube around Loiben. The nose is fresh and precise, showing green apple, pear and grapefruit with fennel, fresh herbs, lime zest and subtle stony notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright acidity, juicy orchard fruit and a fine chalky texture. Green pear and apple are joined by ripe stone fruit, citrus and classic peppery spice, while a saline mineral character carries through to the clean, dry finish. The wine is matured in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal definition.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Grüner Veltliner drinkers who enjoy crisp Austrian whites with fresh fruit, savoury herbs and mineral character. Enjoy now or over the next several years and pair with schnitzel, grilled fish, roast chicken, pork, asparagus or fresh salads.
