Muschelkalk Weiß 2022 | Lichtenberger González - 75cl

Flavor Profile: Apricot, fresh grass, lemon and pear, with delicate tropical fruit and a touch of caramel. Juicy and taut on the palate, with good grip, salinity and considerable length.

Origin: Neusiedlersee, Burgenland, Austria, on limestone in the Leitha hills northwest of the lake.

Grapes: Predominantly Grüner Veltliner, with a little Pinot Blanc and Welschriesling.

Process: Organically farmed. 2022 is the first vintage to draw on better sites than before. Fermented spontaneously, then matured for 10 to 11 months in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. Unfiltered, bottled with minimal sulfur, at 13% alcohol.

About the Producer: Martin Lichtenberger and Adriana González met during an internship in Sonoma, then came back to his hometown of Breitenbrunn to start their own estate, at what they call the end of the world. This is their entry-level white, and a great introduction to their style.

Pairing Suggestions: BBQ, salmon, chicken or roast vegetables.

Contains sulfites. Bottled by Lichtenberger Gonzales GesnbR, Seestr. 42, 7091 Breitenbrunn, Austria.
