About this product
From the Seewinkel's botrytis-blessed Welschriesling vines — naturally infected by Botrytis cinerea in the autumn lake fogs — this Beerenauslese is Austria's most approachable sweet wine tier. Deep golden amber with aromas of apricot preserve, saffron, lemon marmalade, and honeycomb. The palate is luscious with exhilarating natural acidity — a tension between sugar and acid that characterises great botrytised wine — finishing with a crystalline mineral note from the lakeside alluvial soils.
