Wine Description
Welschriesling is one of the oldest and most important grape varieties in Burgenland. The wines are characterized by lively acidity and fruitiness paired with delicate spiciness. From fresh everyday wine to noble sweet premium wines, the grape variety offers a wide range of styles.
Tasting Notes
The 2024 Welschriesling is light yellow with green reflections and exudes a lively bouquet of green apples, hay flowers and citrus fruits. On the palate it impresses with its fresh, crisp acidity, which harmonizes perfectly with the fine fruit and delicate spiceness. A light, elegant white wine that impresses with its clarity and freshness.
Food Pairing
Our Welschriesling goes perfectly with light fish dishes such as pike-perch or fried salmon. It also unfolds its fresh acidity and elegance with fresh salads with goat cheese or an asparagus dish. It is also an ideal accompaniment to poultry dishes such as chicken breast or roast turkey. On its own it is a wonderful summer wine and in a mixed double with ice-cold soda it is unbeatable as a "white spritzer".

Harvest and Maturing
The grapes for this wine are harvested separately according to location. The selective harvest of the ripe, healthy grapes is done exclusively by hand. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and pressed directly - without any significant maceration time. The fresh must obtained from this is naturally clarified by settling (sedimentation). Fermentation takes place cooled and therefore particularly gentle on the fruit in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the young wine is racked off the full yeast and allowed to rest on the fine yeast for around three months. The individual base wines are then blended, clarified/filtered and prepared for bottling.
