The Neusiedlersee hugs the borders of Hungary and Carnuntum and is one of Burgenland’s northernmost regions. Despite our pairing suggestion, the Neusiedlersee region is most famous for their sweet wines made from Welshriesling and wines made from the red, Zweigelt. The area is home to 7,649 hectares of vines that experience long hours of sunshine and an even longer growing season due to the hot, dry summers and cold winters the region experiences.
Here Botrytis is prominent not only because of the lake’s proximity to the vineyards, but additionally by the many salt lakes present throughout the vineyard plots. These bodies of water create high humidity and regular autumn fog which lead to Austria’s famous high-quality dessert wines categorized as Beeranauslese and Trokenbeeranauslese. The long ripening season also accounts for the residual sugar found even in the regions dryer whites which are fruit-intensive and generally classified as Auslese or Späteles.

Rich, sweet nose. The botrytis is clear, but not overpowering. Its very rich and sweet, and although there's a lot of acid, i dont think it stands up to the sugar, so it came across a little flabby. Nice finish on green apples. Read More

Light botrytis on the nose with smoky apricot tones. In the mouth this is incredibly sweet and viscous but at the same time there is more than enough acidity to wash through the finish so this doesn't realy get cloying. Wonderful fresh and dried fruit flavors are framed by the mineral tones. A treat! 93pts Read More
