The Kellerberg sits on Gföhler gneiss, a metamorphic bedrock, and faces southeast. That angle sheltered it from the prevailing winds of the Ice Ages and left pockets of fine loess behind, and erosion has since mixed that loess into the rock. The family credits this mix with the site's rich, bold style. Lucas Pichler made the wines from the 1999 vintage on, including this one, while his father F.X. kept tending the vines, and he doesn't hedge: a wine from the Kellerberg is always a grand wine. It was a Kellerberg Riesling, the 1990, that first made the estate's name outside Austria. The label itself is now a piece of history: the estate has left the Vinea Wachau growers' association after 38 years, so current Kellerberg bottlings are labelled 'Ried Kellerberg' instead. If you've wondered what top Wachau Riesling turns into with real age, this is a bottle to open with curious friends, not one to keep locked away.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525008461881,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-268-29","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/FX-Pichler-Riesling-Durnsteiner-Kellerberg-Loibner-Hollerin-Smaragd-2005-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1790154946","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/fx-pichler-riesling-durnsteiner-kellerberg-loibner-hollerin-smaragd-2005","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
