In the glass
Colour
Hazy, intense golden yellow with a slight shimmer.
Nose
Captivating notes of white peach, ripe pear and plums, accompanied by apricots, orange zest, aniseed and vanilla. Delicate roasted aromas of light nuts and fresh lees complete the picture, underpinned by a cool minerality.
Palate
Piquant and refreshing with a creamy texture, fine tannin note and grip. Grapefruit and orange zest emerge, and the length is remarkable.
Character
A structured natural wine with depth and complexity that openly displays its origin from cool limestone vineyard sites. Not a wine for a quick sip, but rather a serious food companion with personality.
Pairing
Ideal with savoury and fruity dishes such as roasted vegetables with citrus fruits, pungent cheese or Asian cuisine featuring ginger and lime.
Notes
Hand-harvested grapes, spontaneously fermented in large wooden casks and amphorae, bottled unfiltered and without added sulphur. Demeter-certified and a founding member of respekt-BIODYN — a wine that transparently showcases the Heinrich family’s biodynamic work.
Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Hazy, intense golden yellow with amber reflections — a visual promise of skin contact and unfiltered bottling.
Nose
After decanting, a complex array of aromas emerges: wild peach, ripe pear, plums and apricots, flanked by roasted notes of light nuts and fresh lees. Later, orange zest, aniseed and a touch of vanilla join in, carried by a cool, mineral note.
Palate
Piquant, refreshing and creamy all at once. A fine tannin structure provides grip, while grapefruit and citrus zest precisely contour the fruit. The cool minerality of the limestone and schist soils runs through the wine like a salty vein — a textural wine of remarkable presence.
Finish
Long and persistent, with salty freshness and a spicy, almost nutty depth that keeps the palate engaged for minutes afterwards.
Terroir & origin
The vines are rooted in the limestone- and schist-rich soils around Gols on Lake Neusiedl. Gernot and Heike Heinrich have acquired here, parcel by parcel, those stony, demanding vineyard sites that others had abandoned — on the Leitha Mountains with their cool limestone slopes, and on the Parndorf Plateau with its gravel and red schist.
Grape variety & vinification
Blaufränkisch, vinified as a Blanc de Noirs — a radical, rare interpretation of this red Burgenland grape variety. The hand-harvested grapes fermented spontaneously in large wooden casks and amphorae; the wine was bottled unfiltered and without the addition of sulphur.
Food recommendations
A wine for the table that calls for salty and fruity cuisine: fried goat’s cheese with apricots, smoked char, Asian dishes with lime and chilli or mature Comté.
Special features
A white-vinified Blaufränkisch from biodynamic viticulture (Demeter-certified, founding member of respekt-BIODYN) that redefines the boundaries of the grape variety — spontaneously fermented, sulphur-free, unfiltered. Not a natural wine for casual tasters, but a structured, complex drop for curious drinkers.
