Ried Jungherrn Weißburgunder

RIED JUNGHERRN WEISSBURGUNDER
2023

Wine-Description:
This Pinot Blanc has a pronounced bouquet of yellow apples and delicate exotic fruit notes. On the palate, it impresses with elegant extract sweetness with a hint of cookie and a juicy consistency. Its complexity and refinement in combination with harmonious acidity characterize this Burgundy.

On the variety and origins of this wine:
The Weißburgunder found its way to Austria from its original growing areas in the French regions of Champagne and Burgundy. The variety particularly prefers warm areas and deep, fertile soil. The Jungherrn vineyard, nestled among the hills surrounding Vienna, offers the Weißburgunder precisely these optimal conditions on the steep slopes of the Leopoldsberg.

Stift Klosterneuburg Wine Estate:
Since its foundation in 1114 Klosterneuburg abbey has been growing wine and therefore is the oldest wine estate of Austria. With 108 Hectares of vineyards it is one of the country‘s largest and most renowned estates. The vineyards are situated in selected top locations in Klosterneuburg, Vienna, Gumpoldskirchen and Tattendorf.

Since the year 2009 it is the first carbon neutral wine estate in Europe.

Collection:
What makes our single-vineyard wines stand out is the particular choice of hand-picked grapes. The wine is made from grapes grown in individual vine-yards with a long tradition, and the Stift Klosterneuburg Wine Estate has been cultivating some of the individual sites for centuries. A highly selective and target-ed harvest ensures the ripest of grapes, while the process of ageing the wines – done partly in small wooden casks – guarantees that they can be stored for several years while maintaining their high quality.
