It is precisely this austerity, this salinity, that makes this Chardonnay so appealing, allowing the yellow-fleshed fruit notes, the buttery taste of freshly baked Madeleines, and the smokiness to recede into the background. A wine that will hardly find its equal in its price range, one that can ripen, that needs time to show, with plenty of air in a large glass, how filigree can work together with substance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeike and Gernot Heinrich – Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chardonnay grapes, hand-picked in mid-September 2022, come from renowned vineyards such as Spiegel, Kirchberg or Alter Berg, as well as Edelgraben and Zwergsbreiten with fossil-rich calcareous sandstone and mica schist soils. Heike and Gernot Heinrich cultivate the vineyards of Weingut Heinrich organically-biologically or biodynamically, with great care and attention to detail. After harvesting, the grapes remain on the mash for a few hours, then gently pressed and spontaneously fermented. The Chardonnay Leithaberg underwent a natural malolactic fermentation, in which the more aggressive malic acid is converted into milder lactic acid. This brings typical notes and, above all, a pleasant creaminess to the wine, which was allowed to mature for a full 7 months on its natural lees in large oak barrels before being bottled at the end of April 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChardonnay Leithaberg – a wine and its values\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Wine from Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing region Burgenland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape variety Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemeter certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRespekt biodyn wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003evegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13.0% Vol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.3g\/l acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.0g\/l residual sugar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic Control Body BIO-AT-402 Austria Agriculture\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weingut Gernot Heinrich","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":53074008867150,"sku":"013HEI0041","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6× 750 ml","offer_id":59680267764046,"sku":"013HEI0041_6","price":99.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/gernot-heinrich-chardonnay-leithaberg-2022.jpg?v=1751011712","url":"https:\/\/nurgutes.de\/en\/products\/gernot-heinrich-chardonnay-leithaberg-2022","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
