Lucas Pichler
Wachau Winemaker with an Infinite View
Lucas F. Pichler runs Weingut F.X. Pichler in Dürnstein in the Wachau together with his wife Johanna, representing the seventh generation of the family. He joined the estate in 1996, took over vinification in 1999, and has served as managing director, winegrower, and oenologist since the official handover in 2019. F.X. Pichler has long been one of the defining names of the Wachau and is especially known for Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from great sites such as Kellerberg, Loibenberg, and Steinertal. At the heart of Lucas Pichler’s work are origin, vintage, microclimate, and a style he describes as seamless and distinctive.
