Weissburgunder Langenloiser Kalksand 2023
Every place where wine is grown is unique in terms of location, geology, and wine culture. Our village wines (Ortswein) reflect exactly this special combination of geological, microclimatic, and cultural influences. The Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) has a long tradition on our estate. Dr. Bruno Hiedler was the first winegrower to cultivate the variety in the Danube area in 1955 - a time when low-yielding, small-berried varieties were anything but 'en vogue'. Since then, it has been deeply rooted in our soils and our history. This stimulating and elegant Weißburgunder of old vine-genetics, grows on calcareous and partly sandy loess soils. They impart a calm fruit and a delicate nutty aroma.
