2017 | Weingut Heinrich | Salzberg

Dark covering ruby red in the glass. In the nose a strong aroma of dark berries, very dense, material and fleshy. On the palate powerful and full, soft and pleasant tannins. A sublime red wine with a strong acid bow. Long lasting in the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Both fresh and baked blueberry notes are immediate on the aromatic nose. They are joined by warm cinnamon spice and a touch of undergrowth. The palate is pervaded by freshness that highlights the silky nature of the tannins, the slight grip and the beautiful concentration. Yes, this has power, but also real elegance. Lovely now, it is certain to evolve.

• Falstaff: Dark ruby ​​garnet, violet reflections, subtle lightening of the edges. Fine herbal spices, ripe black heart cherries, blackberry confit, a hint of cassis, fresh plums, some nougat, delicately of candied orange zest. Juicy, silky texture, extract-sweet, fine, supporting tannins, mineral, structured with finesse, saline touch, very good length, already accessible, reliable aging potential.

Producer Information

Weingut Heinrich is a wine producer based in the village of Gols, at the northeastern end of the Neusiedlersee lake in the Burgenland region of southeastern Austria. The winery produces a range of wines from local grapes made with minimal intervention in the winemaking process and many cuvées remain on skins for exended periods. The estate practices biodynamic viticulture and grows and produces a range of grape varieties including Blaufränkisch, Grauer Burgunder, Roter Traminer and Weissburgunder as well as Chardonnay, Zweigelt, St. Laurent and Pinot Noir. In the winery, many of the white wines are fermented (and macerated) in skins, with maceration times varying between wines. Many wines are cellar-aged in wooden oak barrels of varying capacity. A range of labels and wines are produced, with both single-varietal and blended wines released by the estate. Most bear the Burgenland indicator although some top cuvées (including the single-vineyard Edelgraben and Alter Berg Blaufränkisch wines) are produced under the Leithaberg appellation.
