92 pts Falstaff (Austria’s answer to the Wine Advocate)

Why the big sale? Well, there is no secret deal here… basically, F.X. Pichler is the most sought after Austrian producer. I simply cannot get enough of his wines. So this year, when the distributor offered me the entire NC allocation, I just said “Yes!”. And maybe it was more than we needed...

In past, he sold this entry-level wine to restaurants. And he will most certainly do so again (hopefully soon!).

But in the meanwhile, I have a chance to introduce everyone to the producer with this classic wine! So why not just drop the price to the US Best? Why not, indeed?!?

“It is not often that one can talk about the greatest producer in a given country (but Austria is small, so here one has an advantage). And while there are many great wine-makers in Austria, none is more synonymous with great Austrian wine than F.X. Pichler or as he is simply called, F.X. In fact so riveting is his reputation that one author on Austrian wine who was prompted to list the 100 greatest producers in Austria, in order of greatness, lists F.X. Pichler as #1. When one tastes the wines, you'll see why they impress all. They are truly monumental dry white wines - each with a mouth-filling presence, finish and complexity that leaves one speechless.” Importer Note

“Delicate smoky-mineral white peach fruit, a touch of grapefruit, floral nuances, attractive bouquet. Juicy, good complexity, fresh stone fruit nuances, lively acid arch, mineral-salty, finefruity reverberation, remains sticky, a multifaceted food companion.” Falstaff
