Eisenstadt Sankt Laurent 2022

Due to a Pannonian climate that is moderated by Lake Neusiedl, we are graced with the ability to produce white, red and sweet wines of the highest quality here on the Leithaberg. Warm, dry summers and cold, dry winters combine with the typical wind of Burgenland to shape the vegetation of our region.

Piercingly bright acidity sheathed in bitterness and vivid mountain-berry fruit. We have a Redlove apple tree, which produces fruit with thick red skin and deep pink-red flesh. It’s unbelievably fragrant, and has stunning flavour, but you have to brave the acidity and tannins. This wine just reminds me so much of those apples. The acidity has wincing intensity but it’s intensely moreish at the same time – in the way that certain chillies and bitter or sharp foods have you going back in for more. Pitanga berry, wild strawberry, the sharpest of redcurrants, and a winter-bark stemminess. Best sipped with a triple-cream cheese or glistening, salty, piquant charcuterie.
