Notes from the Winemaker:
Harvested fully ripe and healthy, the must is allowed to fully to macerate for three days on the skins to gently extract its hidden fruit components. The resulting aroma spectrum opens quietly, but persistently with ripe pear, blossom and meadow notes that are bedded in a juicy, balanced texture.
"A layered, dry pinot blanc with dried lemons, apples and pears. It’s full-bodied and delicious. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. Screw cap." (9/2020)
An estate both admired and beloved within Austria, for hearty yet focused whites and sumptuous deeply structured reds, both of which are undergoing certain deft transitions; the whites more primary (i.e., less malo) and the reds more succulent (i.e., fewer gravelly tannins).
Pinot Blanc is a demanding variety. Like the other Burgundian variety, it is a child of the soil in which it grows. The soil of Seeberg is interspersed with lime and often warmed by the sun. It absorbs and stores the infrequent precipitation optimally, thus promoting available nutrition for the vines.
