Genussgut Krispel Weißburgunder Ried Neusetzberg Erste Lage 2020, 0,75 L

This Erste Lagen Weißburgunder exemplifies how beautifully Weißburgunder thrives in the Styrian volcanic region, showcasing the remarkable quality this grape variety can achieve.

The Neusetzberg vineyard, with its unique combination of shell limestone and a thick layer of red loam, imparts a distinct character to this wine. After ageing for 12 months in small wooden barrels, followed by 6 months in larger ones, this creamy, dry white is already revealing its potential, though it can age gracefully for another 10-15 years.

On the nose and palate, it’s a well-balanced, mineral-driven wine. Roasted flavours and spices like juniper take centre stage, complemented by ripe red apple notes. It opens full-bodied and round, gaining power with each sip while maintaining excellent acidity to keep it vibrant. The wine evolves with elegance, becoming more delicate as it leads into a long, spicy finish that leaves you with a smile and an irresistible urge for the next sip.

Perfectly suited for dishes like woolly pork, grilled fish, or feta cheese—or simply to be enjoyed on its own, savouring the moment.
