Beerenauslese Sauvignon Blanc

1996 Burgenland Sauvignon Blanc

The Weingut Leberl Beerenauslese Sauvignon Blanc from the 1996 vintage is a splendid example of a dessert wine crafted in the esteemed Burgenland region. This enchanting white wine showcases a full-bodied character that envelops the palate with its creamy texture. With bright acidity that provides a refreshing lift, it harmoniously balances the luscious sweetness typical of a Beerenauslese. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of ripe tropical fruits and honeyed notes, while the tannins are remarkably delicate, allowing the wine's natural vibrancy to shine through. This Sauvignon Blanc is delightfully off-dry, making it a perfect match for rich desserts or as a luxurious sipping wine on its own.

Austria may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of quality wine, but this slice of central Europe is home to crisp whites and elegant reds that are well worth seeking out. While many classic grapes are grown here, there are exceptional wines made from varieties you rarely see anywhere else, such as white Grüner Veltliner. Spicy and herbaceous, this wine combines notes of white pepper and asparagus with flint and apple. As for reds, the most planted is Zweigelt. This grape is a hybrid of two other local varietals: the spicy Blaufränkisch and light St. Laurent. It combines the best of both worlds with flavors of chocolate, black pepper and fresh raspberry.
