Weissburgunder Maximum 2020
We have a long tradition with Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc). Dr. Bruno Hiedler was the first vintner to plant it as a single vineyard in the Danube region in 1955, a time when small grapes were anything but 'en vogue'. The grapes for our Maximum are sourced from exactly this historic vineyard, a very old, valuable clone. The old vines grow at the foot of the Schenkenbichl slope, on river gravel which in places is criss-crossed with bright, lime-rich loess. Before bottling, it matures for two full winters in barrel on the lees. This is how this dense and elegant Weissburgunder is created, with the unmistakable Hiedler signature.

THE NEW VINTAGE WILL BE RELEASED IN AUTUMN 2023
