Tasting note from Oct 10, 2019 copyright Peter Mueller

Color:

The wine shows itself in light straw yellow with white-golden reflexes clear and shining in the glass.

Nose:

A testimony of timelessness.
The curious combination of depth and lightness. Determined, determined and with righteous courage as the soul of its roots, this "Burgundy" from Burgenland speaks out. Initially reserved out of caution, this wine requires thought, air, patience and a large glass to reveal its true nature. Ideally, carafe before enjoying. After some time of youthful rambunctiousness, bright florals emerge in the form of broom, acacia and daisies, along with yellow-fleshed fruit flavors of honeydew melon and Hokkaido squash. Primarily austere, paying homage to the limestone, notes of toasted cereal and a madeleine soaked in single malt show tentatively alongside herbal hints of cress, honeybush and mate.

Palate:

Razor-sharp precision is the watchword of this wine.
The yellow-fleshed aromas bundle together with a delicate smokiness that merely lends emphasis to the fine silhouettes. With the same meticulousness with which the 2016 Chardonnay Leithaberg by Gernot and Heike Heinrich assembles every piece of the puzzle, no matter how small, it also presents itself on the palate. Steely and supported by invigorating acidity, this wine pulls a bag of stones behind it without any complication, leaving a long trail that one is only too happy to follow.
