Product Notes

The Rudi Pichler Grüner Veltliner Federspiel is an Austrian white wine produced from grapes grown in the Wachau region. This dry, refreshing wine has a pale yellow color and aromas of pear, green apple, and white pepper. On the palate, flavors of citrus and minerality complement the fruit notes, with a crisp acidity and medium body. The wine is produced using traditional winemaking techniques, including spontaneous fermentation and aging in stainless steel tanks. Ideal as an aperitif or paired with light seafood dishes, this Grüner Veltliner is a classic example of the style and showcases the quality and elegance of Austrian wine.

About the Winery

Rudi Pichler

Located in the Wosendorf municipality of lower Austria, Rudi Pichler is a famous brand that is known for its exotic white wines made from Gruner Veltliner, Riesling, Weissburgunder and many more. The wines created here reflect the unique climatic conditions that prevail in the wine-region of Wachau, where the brand’s vineyards are located.

The soils found in each of the following vineyards are highly diverse, which results in unique flavours of grapes produced here.

  • Kollmutz – Made from age-old rocks known as paragneiss, the soils in the Kollmutz vineyards have gone through different ages of erosion and are over a million years old. The soils are sandy and calcareous in nature. They are rich in minerals such as iron, magnesium and manganese, which explains why fruits grown here are extremely intense.
  • Kirchweg – These vineyards give a scenic view of the historic church, which the local residents of Wosendorf frequent regularly. The presence of the sediments carried by the Danube River, makes the soil sandy and coarse in texture. This soil is rich in alluvial content, and it is perfect for growing full-bodied Riesling varietals.
  • Hochrain – Here, the soils are full of loess content, which are deposited here by the Western Winds that flow through this region. Loess makes the soil look grainy with a lot of calcareous silt content in it.
  • Achleithen – With a blend of sand and stone particles in their texture, the soils of Achleithen have little or very minimal limestone content unlike the soils of other vineyards. The history of how the soils were formed here dates back to over 350 million years ago.

All of these vineyards are spread across a total area of 10.5 hectares. Green Valtellina (55%) and Riesling (35%) are grown in plenty here. Other white varietals grown in small parcels are Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Red Veltliner.
