Winemaker Thomas Pichler owes it to his father Anton Pichler and the whole family that he was able to found his own small winery in 2003. A consistent pursuit of quality is Thomas Pichler's basic idea when cultivating the vineyards and producing wine in the cellar. With the help of the most necessary interventions, he endeavors to respect nature and to learn from the special characteristics of a vintage time and time again. Thomas Pichler uses wooden barrels for ageing - 90 percent of the wines are aged in small oak barrels.
Thomas Pichler is convinced that a good glass of wine should be a pleasure to drink, expressing personality, shaped by the character of the winemaker and the wine-growing region. "When it comes to vinification, I don't think much of theories, but rely on feeling, nose and mouth for all decisions. There is no intention of bottling any fashionable wines with all kinds of aids. We are reinforcing this with our choice of varieties by paying even more attention to local grape varieties typical of the region in future." The implementation of these plans is completed in the new, contemporary cellar through the use of state-of-the-art technology.
As a reward for the year-round painstaking manual work in the vineyard and the strict yield reduction, elegant, multi-faceted, high-quality wines mature in the cellar, reflecting the winemaker's respectful approach to nature.
