THIS BOOK SYMBOLIZES THE YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW OF OUR ESTATE. IT IS A METICULOUS RECORD KEPT BY FRANZ PICHLER SR. (* 1906), WHO IN 1928 STARTED TO RIGOROUSLY SELECT GRÜNER VELTLINER CLONES BY FOCUSING ON SMALL-BERRIED GRAPES. THESE PRODUCED LOWER YIELDS,YET AFFORDED HIGHER EXTRACTS AND TIGHTER AROMAS AND FLAVORS. AS A TRIBUTE TO FRANZ PICHLER SR. AND HIS MORE THAN 37 YEARS OF CONSTANT WORK, WE HAVE CHOSEN HIS ANNALS AS A LAYOUT TO SHOWCASE THE EMERGENCE OF OUR GRUNER SELECTION. TODAY, THIS SELECTION IS GROWN IN ALMOST ALL VINEYARD SITES OF OUR FIFTH-GENERATION FAMILY WINERY. THE BOOK MANIFESTS OUR STRIVE FOR QUALITY, OUR ENDURANCE, OUR PASSION FOR WINE. > close
