Konkret Weiss 2019

Wine Description for Konkret Weiss 2019 by Meinklang

Character

The Konkret Weiss 2019 by Meinklang is a wine that takes its name seriously: grounded, direct, without pretence. With an alcohol content of 12.0% and an almost bone-dry orientation, it displays that quiet self-assurance one would expect from a biodynamically managed estate like Meinklang. Not a wine that clamours loudly for attention – rather one that waits until you listen to it.

Terroir & Origin

The Burgenland at the Neusiedlersee is one of the most distinctive wine landscapes of Central Europe: a flat, expansive Pannonian Basin, shaped by continental climate with long, hot summers and the moderating influence of the shallow lake. The soils – often deep, loamy, with mineral inclusions – lend the wines an unmistakable substance. Meinklang manages its vineyards according to biodynamic principles, as part of a larger agricultural organism in which viticulture, arable farming and livestock husbandry exist in harmony. This is not marketing – this is conviction.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The Traminer – in its aromatic fullness one of the most characterful grape varieties of the Alpine region – does not take centre stage here to impress, but to tell a story. In Meinklang’s interpretation, the varietal expressiveness is deliberately restrained, the wine steered towards directness and drinkability. The name „Konkret“ hints at a minimalist approach to winemaking, where the raw material – soil, vine, vintage – takes precedence. The 2019 vintage brought ripe, concentrated grapes to Burgenland with good acidity structure.

Food Pairing Suggestions

The aromatic depth of the Traminer and the dry style make this wine a versatile table companion. It harmonises with Asian-spiced dishes, such as Thai curry or Vietnamese summer rolls, as well as with peppery goat’s cheese, grilled vegetables or a classic Viennese potato goulash. A wine for people who think whilst eating – and drink whilst thinking.
