Chardonnay and Welschriesling

Vineyard

Neuberg belongs to the best vineyard sites Burgenland has to offer. It is one of the oldest vineyard sites in the area, where vines have been growing here for many of hundreds of years. Neuberg is a very rocky limestone hill in the northwest of the village Neusiedl and belongs to the Leithaberg Mountains. Its hills are softly rolling towards the lake and slope either southeast or north south. The soil is diverse, ranging from pretty scarce and surfacing huge amounts of limestone fragments (in some parts schist) to heavy, rich loam.

1 plot of Chardonnay planted in 2017 (0.44 hectares), and 1 plot of Welschriesling planted in 1990 (0.33 hectares).

Vinification

During harvest, all grapes are processed in the backyard. Whole bunches go straight into the screw press. No additives, no temperature control at any stage of winemaking. Juice goes straight into large acacia barrels (2000L). Racked before natural fermentation kicks in. Matured on gross lees for several months without any additives, without fining and without filtration.
