Producer Weingut Heinrich

AUSTRIA, BURGERLAND

Weingut Heinrich's company is located in Burgenland, near Lake Neusiedl, in the region the hottest from Austria. Weingut's idea is to make authentic wines that speak of tension and vitality, because wine lives, develops and changes, opens and closes and creates harmony and balance. Since 2006 he has decided to cultivate the vineyards in a biodynamic way, making them more resistant, vital and heterogeneous. The range of soils where their vineyards grow ranges from meter-thick fossil limestone strata on the Alter Berg in Winden to arid slate soils on Edelgraben in Breitenbrunn to sandy and clayey soils with a gravel layer on Gabarinza and Salzberg in Gols . Mainly we find vines such as Blaufränkisch, Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, but also ancient vines that have become rare or almost disappeared, such as Muskat Ottonel, Neuburger, Welschriesling or Roter Traminer. In the cellar the wines ferment spontaneously and are left in contact with the skins, sometimes for weeks, some for a few months, others for years, but all with the intent of giving them the perfect balance to take with them on their journey. They age on their own yeasts in used wooden barrels so that their aromatic spectra develop over time. A cellar with a very diversified range, which is dotted with whites, reds and macerates, where the fil rouge of origin is never lost.
