Heinrich Neuburger Freyheit 2016
Weinland Österreich, AustriaFreyheit means freedom, and signifies Heinrich's natural range of wines. That is evident in the hazy pour of this unfiltered / unfined white (the bottle recommends to shake before pouring). This is entirely neuburger, a crossing of roter veltliner and sylvaner, from loamy, chalky, sandy soils of Mönchhof and the limestone soils of the Leithaberg. After native ferment, this matured in large oak casks for 21 months prior to bottling unfined and unfiltered. Pine nuts and earthy, with a smoked peaty note, tangerine, lemon verbena, dried nettle, subtle quince and yellow plum blossoms. There's a whisper fine tug around the sides that refreshes the palate and keeps you wanting more. Reminiscent of pinot blanc, but with a welcome wild and cutting edge. Very interesting.Tasted: 10 January 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $44.00 | 750ml | private order |
