Leithaberg Varietal Spectrum
Touch wine. Accompany. Experience.
rich in tradition and at home on the Leithaberg – the older vineyards yield white Burgundian varieties and Bläufränkisch of impressive quality and inimitable character.
I produce high quality white wines from the varieties Chardonnay, Welschriesling, Pinot Blanc, and Sauvignon Blanc. Aromatic white wines with deep extract and inimitable character are typical for Weingut Braunstein. They are distinguished by freshness and elegance.
Chardonnay Felsenstein
Elegant, mineral and full. An elegant Chardonnay of great pedigree with fruit, body and finesse of character.
The exotic bouquet reminiscent of pineapple combines with refreshing acidity and full body to make Chardonnay Felsenstein an ideal accompaniment to fish and light vegetable dishes.This Chardonnay shows its full potential in a large Burgundy glass at 8-10 °C and pairs wonderfully with Indian vegetable curry or rabbit stew with squash and raisin rice.
Chardonnay Guttenberg Leithaberg DAC
Pure elegance, a great Chardonnay from Burgenland. Single vineyard
The multifaceted Fellner Leithaberg DAC Chardonnay is highly mineral, elegant, and concentrated. It exudes the fragrance of juicy pineapple and yellow pear; yellow currant joins in on the finish. This great Burgundian style is an optimal accompaniment to crustaceans, poultry or risotto. Excellent ageing potential.This wine evolves its full aroma diversity and elegance at 9-11 °C (48-52 ° F). It is pure enjoyment with Saltimbocca with Parma prosciutto and a light creamy sauce with butter and white wine and Ciabatta bread. It is also ideal during the asparagus season, especially with green asparagus grilled under a light herb sauce with Parmesan.
Chardonnay Ried Thenau Leithaberg DAC
old vines bring substance, shell limestone minerality, healthy soil, lively wine – single vineyard
The multi-layered Chardonnay Ried Thenau tastes mineral, elegant and rich. It has its texture due to the maceration time, its finesse due to the careful pressing. As a large burgundy, it is the ideal companion for seafood, poultry and risotto. Good shelf life. The wine unfolds ideally at 9-11 ° C and then offers all its variety of flavors and elegance. Pure enjoyment at Saltimbocca with Parma ham and a light sauce made from salted butter and white wine with warm, fresh ciabatta. But also in the asparagus season; fresh green asparagus in a light herb sauce with parmesan gratin in the oven.
Pinot Blanc
Playful, fine and mineral.
Pinot Blanc, called Weissburgunder in German, has been known since the 14th century. It counts among the Burgundian varieties and stems from a mutation of Pinot Gris (Grauburgunder). The pale-skinned variety yields light wines with mild, well-integrated acidity. Best drinking enjoyment on the summer terrace served at 8-10 ° C (46-50 °F). Pairs well with a fresh herb salad with avocado and crayfish; fabulous with grilled asparagus in chervil butter.
Baufränkisch Heide
Crisp, peppery and full of fresh berry flavour
The Blaufränkisch Heide has a fresh and fruity flavour reminiscent of blackberry and pepper. It is powerful and concentrated, but remains supple on the palate. Optimal drinking temperature is 16-18 °C (60-64 °F). Ideal accompaniment to duck breast roasted under a walnut crust with sauteéed schupfnudeln (small potato dumplings). It is also a superb choice with spicy hard cheeses like Gryerzer with freshly baked pumpkin seed bread.
