Hochrain

2008 Wachau Pinot Blanc

Introducing the exquisite Machherndl Hochrain 2008, a delightful Pinot Blanc hailing from the stunning Wachau region of Austria. This wine captivates with its brilliant pale straw color that gleams in the light, setting the stage for a tasting experience that is both refreshing and elegant. The body of this wine is medium, offering a lovely balance that is neither too heavy nor too light. Its acidity is pronounced, providing a bright and lively character that dances on the palate with each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing vibrant notes of green apple, pear, and subtle hints of citrus, perfectly complemented by a touch of minerality that reflects the terroir of the Wachau valley. This wine presents lovely dryness, allowing the fresh flavors to shine through without overwhelming sweetness, making it an ideal companion for seafood dishes or light salads. The overall experience is not only enjoyable but also showcases the craftsmanship of winemaking in this remarkable region.

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.
