來自Wachau的Elisabeth Pichler-Krutzler和來自Burgenland的Erich Krutzler於2006年在Wachau開設了自己的酒莊，兩夫婦都來自著名的釀酒家族，他們一起以優質靈魂和個性製作酒品，完全尊重自然和可持續發展的葡萄種植方式。
這些都是Erich Krutzler於九十年代定下來的足跡，當時他為家族在Südburgenland出產出色而有性格的紅酒，這也解釋了為甚麼Burgenland Blaufränkisch會和Riesling 及 Grüner Veltliner同時出現在貨品系列中。
Pichler-Krutzler的葡萄酒皆突顯純淨，也從不會為品質妥協。所有酒都充分反映其風土，收成、培養和裝瓶都不作混合其他品種。因為沒有加糖、所有作發酵的糖份全來自葡萄汁、Unfined，所以酒都如實清楚地表現產地根源，是絕不譁眾取寵的高級手工藝品。

單一葡萄園Klostersatz位於Oberloiben村，是整個Wachau區內最古老的葡萄園之一 - 最早的記錄可追溯至公元860年。位於多瑙河拐彎處，來自阿爾卑斯山的鵝卵石與幼細的沉積物，形成良好的排水系統。（即使在 2014 年份，厚皮的 Grüner 在生長季節受到雨水的侵襲，也表現得很好。）加上葡萄藤樹齡已超過45年，令這款白酒特別有生命力和傳神的香料味，陳年潛質豐富。
釀造與陳年：
採用天然酵母於不鏽鋼大缸發酵。與酒渣在不鏽鋼大缸和大橡木桶陳年至裝瓶。沒有淨化，過濾一次。
品酒筆記：
此酒於橡木桶發酵，再加上和酒渣陳年，令口感更加絲滑，也有燧石感覺。桃子、西柚、杏脯配以石塊及帶鹹感，清爽的收結。
Elisabeth Pichler-Krutzler from the Wachau and Erich Krutzler from the Burgenland founded their own wine estate in the Wachau in 2006. Both husband and wife originated from famous wine-making families. Together, they craft wines of great soul and individuality, based on a respect form nature and sustainable viticultural practice.
All this is a continuation of the path that Erich Krutzler set out on in the 1990s when he helped his family estate produce outstanding and characterful red wines in the Südburgenland. This is why a Burgenland Blaufränkisch finds its place in the range alongside Riesling and Grüner Veltliner.
The Pichler-Krutzler wines are pure, unadulterated and made without compromise to quality. Each wine is the reflection of its own terroir, harvested, raised and bottled without blending. Since there is no chaptalization, no juice concentration, no fining or additives of any sort, all the wines express their origins plain and clear. Just high-grade handcraft without any fancy trends.
Region：
Wachau, Austria
Country of Origin:
Austria
Type:
White/Blanc (Still)
Grape Variety:
Grüner Veltliner
Terroir:
The single vineyard Ried Klostersatz located in the village of Oberloiben is one of the oldest in entire Wachau – it has been first documented in the year 860. Attributable by its position in the Danube river bend the sediments are fine-grained on the top and the pebbles coming from the Alps are building the drainage underneath. (Even in Vintage 2014, thick-skinned Grüner did best here in a growing season plagued by rain.) This fact and over 45 years old vines result in very spicy and a kind of athletic wines showing promising aging potential.
Fermentation and Ageing:
Natural yeasts are used for fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aged in stainless steel tanks and big oak casks on its second lees till bottling. Unfined and filtrated once.
Tasting Notes:
Raised half in tank, half in large cask, this delivers cress- and radish-like bite accompanied by peach-kernel piquancy for a downright mouth-shaking performance. There is a remarkable alliance here of palpable extract and satiny texture with vivacity, refreshment and cut. Citrus oils and green herbal essences add interest to the long, sassy finish. -- David Schildknecht
