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

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

Region: Burgenland

The wine regions of Austria reveal an impressive array of grape varietals and wine styles, and yet this ancient and proud land, once the home to the favorite wines of the crowned head of Europe, is still mostly known for its off-dry, fine white wines and dessert wines. The region of Burgenland provides a little variety to the produce of Austria, and due to the exceptional amount of sunshine the region receives, and its proximity to the vast lakes of eastern Austria, it is known as the country's 'red wine quarter'. Indeed, the vast majority of grapes grown in Burgenland are for the production of Austria's characterful and flavorful red wines, made from the Pinot Noir, Zwiegelt and Blaufrankisch grapes which flourish in the fine terroir found there.

Country: Austria

Austria has a wonderfully long and illustrious history of wine production which stretches back over four thousand years, and reached its zenith under the Austria-Hungary dual monarchy in the late 19th century, when Vienna was one of the most important centers of culture and fine living in the world. Today, Austria's fertile soils and long, hot summers help the fifty thousand hectares of vineyards in the country achieve exceptionally high quality yields, which are used primarily for the production of the elegant dry white wines for which the country is renowned. The most important grape varietal is still Grüner Veltliner, although many wineries are beginning to expand their repertoire and experiment with many imported grapes from France and further afield, including Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
