WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY
Intense work in the vineyards is the foundation of Pichler’s philosophy: he even insists on
replacing the term of winemaker with wine-caretaker. He firmly believes that “authentic wine
is not created in the cellar, but born in the vineyard, gently educated in the cellar, and then
raised in the bottle.” Such care is practical for him, as it protects his livelihood and estate – his
wines can never be made somewhere else and given another name. Producing quality wine
from his vineyards, with all of their unique characteristics, is the standard by which he works
and the essence of a Pichler wine.
