WEISSBURGUNDER VIENNA
2023

Wine-description:
This wine presents itself in a light green and seduces with a scent of white apple and delicate nutty notes on the nose. On the palate, it is taut with a yellow fruit sweetness. Elegant and with good ageing potential, this wine offers a harmonious taste experience. Its fine fruitiness and elegant structure make it a wine with class and character. A wine that is a pleasure to drink both in its youth and as it matures, developing its multi-layered aromas.

On the variety and origins of this wine:
From its original home in the vineyards of Champagne and Burgundy, the Weissburgunder (Pinot blanc) grape made its way to Austria, where it is offered ideal conditions by the Klosterneuburg Monastery Wine Estate’s vineyards in Kahlenbergerdorf. Surrounded by the slopes of the Nußberg, the Kahlenberg and the Leopoldsberg and bordered on the east by the Danube, these vineyards produce superior quality year after year.

Wine Estate of Klosterneuburg Abbey:
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.
