Markus Altenburger Neuburger Betont 2019
Burgenland, Weinland Österreich, AustriaThis neuburger, a crossing of Roter Veltliner and Sylvaner, grows in the limestone and schist soils of Jois, Burgenland. After destemming and 4 days skin contact, this was native fermented in concrete egg, where it remained for 6 more months before it was bottled, unfiltered and with minimal sulphites. This orange pours a glowing orange hue, tight and nervy with apricot, mandarin pith, green apple and a shimmering limestone buzz on the finish. There's a fine grip throughout from the time on skins, well integrated into the savoury fruit. Very smart.Tasted: 25 September 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $39.00 | 750ml | select private retailers |
