2018 Lichtenberger Weissburgunder White Wine – German Pinot Blanc

Lichtenberger Gonzalez Weissburgunder 2018 | Leithaberg DAC | Organic Biodynamic Austrian Wine

Experience the distinct character of Austria’s Leithaberg region with this exceptional Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) from renowned producer Lichtenberger Gonzalez. Crafted from the prestigious Edelgraben site, this 2018 vintage blends fruit from both venerable 50-year-old vines and younger plantings, creating a wine of remarkable depth and harmony.

Our meticulous approach defines this minimal intervention Austrian white wine. Grapes undergo gentle whole cluster pressing followed by a brief 2-hour maceration period, delicately extracting nuanced flavors and texture. Fermentation and extended aging occur naturally in large, seasoned 1000-liter oak casks – a traditional method that allows the pure fruit expression to shine while imparting subtle complexity without overt oakiness. True to our commitment to purity, only minimal sulfur is added just before bottling.

This organic and biodynamic certified wine showcases the elegance possible through sustainable viticulture and thoughtful winemaking. Expect a beautifully balanced palate reflecting its cool-climate origins – think crisp orchard fruits, hints of almond blossom, and a refined mineral backbone characteristic of Leithaberg DAC terroir.
