From the oldest Pinot vines in the single-vineyard Seeberg comes the 2019 Pinot Blanc Leithaberg, whose grapes were macerated for three days and vinified in a large oak cask and a single amphora, which makes for 10% of the total. The wine was bottled after 15 months and was never racked prior to bottling. The nose is clear and intense and represents a significantly warmer vintage and riper fruit than the 2020 Ried Seeberg, and this 2019 is also chalkier on the nose. Round and creamy on the palate, this is a full-bodied and sustainable Pinot Blanc with fine tannins and a long, complex and structured finish. The Leithaberg is rich and tastes sweeter than the Seeberg, and you will drink it more slowly and with the main course that can actually be a rich fish or even meat. This is a mouth-filling and still youthful Pinot that should be cellared for another 2-3 years. Tasted in May 2021. ... More details

Winery
The warm winds of Lake Neusiedl bring the wine ripeness. Evening coolness from the Leitha Mountains provides fruitiness, freshness and vibrancy.

Region: Burgenland

Burgenland in eastern Austria is affectionately known as the country's 'red wine quarter', due to the fact that, unlike in the rest of the country, the vineyards of Burgenland are used almost exclusively for the cultivation of fine red wine grapes. This is partly due to the fact that the easternmost region of Austria, close to the Slovakian and Hungarian border, receives far more sunshine than the rest of the country. Alongside this, Burgenland is close to the country's great lakes, resulting in plenty of warmth and moisture which helps grape varietals such as Pinot Noir, Zwiegelt and Blaufrankisch reach full ripeness each year, and allows them to express much of their fine and unique terroir. Burgenland's wines are elegant, flavorful and perfect for those seeking something a little different.

Country: Austria

Austria is a fascinating country when it comes to wine production, and with a wine culture that stretches back over four thousand years, it is one of the oldest viticultural centers in the world. Today, it is the Grüner Veltliner varietal grape which is the most widely grown and processed, producing elegant dry white wines, and very flavorful and aromatic sweet wines enjoyed to a great extent by local communities, and which are beginning to receive the recognition they deserve by the global wine market. Austria's eastern flatlands benefit from fertile and mineral rich soils, fed by the great river Danube, as well as the long hot summers the country enjoys with low precipitation. Today, over fifty thousand hectares of Austrian land is under vine, and even within the city limits of Vienna, high quality wine is produced and enjoyed.
