Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Luminous golden yellow with intense highlights, shimmering fascinatingly between depth and brightness.
Nose
Intense and limitless: dried herbs such as sage, oregano, and a touch of thyme take centre stage. A subtle toasted aroma meets nutty notes of roasted hazelnuts, almonds, and toasted brioche. The reserved fruit reveals nuances of quince, green pear, persimmon, and vineyard peach, rounded off by elegant orange blossom and the tart citrus zest of bergamot.
Palate
Tart, taut, and with a striking structure. A tangible phenolic grip provides firm texture, whilst gently bitter components build immense tension. The tactile mouthfeel challenges the senses, yet is beautifully balanced by a juicy core texture that noticeably enhances the drinkability.
Finish
Long-lasting and focused. Dried herbs, fine traces of fruit, and a pronounced, deep nuttiness dominate the lingering finish.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes hail from Burgenland, where Gernot and Heike Heinrich cultivate their vineyards around Gols and the Leithaberg mountains. The terroir is defined by limestone-rich slopes and complex gravel soils.
Grape Variety & Vinification
A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc (Weißburgunder). The dry vinification with 12.5% ABV follows the estate’s low-intervention approach: spontaneously fermented and crafted with subtle skin contact to impart grip and texture to the wine.
Food Pairings
Ideal with pan-fried pike-perch on lentils, roasted cauliflower with tahini, braised veal cheeks, or aged mountain cheese.
Particularities
An uncompromising representative of the iconic Freyheit line: as a Demeter and respekt-BIODYN certified winery, the Heinrichs focus on uncompromising natural wines with an intellectual appeal and enormous ageing potential.
