For lovers of sweet wines, we offer it as a chilled aperitif. The original pairing would be for spicy Thai dishes with sweet and sour flavors. Otherwise, it will be perfect at the end of a meal with almond financiers, fruit pastries or a piece of Bleu d'Auvergne.

Let's talk little, let's talk wine

product descriptions logo

The microclimate in Rust, a small subregion of Burgenland , is unique thanks to Lake Neusiedl and the sunny southeast-facing hills that produce some of Austria's best wines. The clay-limestone soil but also the minerals from the slates and quartz that compose it offer exceptional conditions for producing unique wines imbued with their terroir. Bruno Landauer is an undisputed master of sweet wines of all levels of the German classification: Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese and the famous ice wines. Gewürztraminer is one of the oldest cultivated grape varieties in the world and the fully ripe grapes, harvested late, give rise to this complex and aromatic sweet wine. The aromatic expression is intense and emits notes of pineapple , mango , white peach , lychee , honey , green apple , white flowers and mandarin . The palate is creamy, very fragrant and the natural sugar almost seems to disappear thanks to the beautiful acidity of this wine. A late harvest focused on finesse.

Where are we traveling?

Burgenland Burgenland is the second largest wine-growing region in Austria. This territory is itself divided into four wine-growing areas: Mittelburgenland, Südburgenland, Neusiedler See and Neusiedler See-Hügelland. The region extends along the Hungarian border, just across which the Tokaji River is located. This territory benefits from ideal conditions for growing vines, notably thanks to favorable soil and a warm climate, characteristic of the Pannonian plain. Added to this is Lake Neusiedl, which acts as a heat collector and regulator of air humidity. The sub-region: Rust In the middle of Europe, where the most diverse cultures mix, lies the small, hundreds of years old free town of Rust in Burgenland. The sunny southeastern slopes of the mountain region around Rust, which are arranged like an amphitheater around the town and Lake Neusiedl, are among the most traditional and best vineyards in Austria. The climate and the particular microclimate are strongly influenced by the lake and the continental climate, the large surface of this lake is a thousand-year-old temperature and humidity regulator.

The little history of the country

Austria

product descriptions logo

For more than ten years, Austrian viticulture has made an enormous leap in terms of wine quality. Today, Austrian winemakers no longer produce cheap wines for mass consumption, but refined and complex wines. Austria produces 65% white wines. From a fairly global point of view, Austrian wines are more powerful and richer than those of its German neighbor. The great national grape variety and the most widely planted is Grüner Veltliner (native white grape variety). Red wine production continues to increase in volume, intensity and quality. Especially in Burgenland, producers make the most of an original grape variety combining local (Blaufränkish, Saint-Laurent, Zweigelt) and French (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir) grape varieties. Austria's climate is predominantly continental with cold winters and warm summers. The country is subject to 4 main influences. To the east, continental influences coming from Pannonia, to the west Atlantic influences but also cold winds coming from the north and to the south Mediterranean influences. The Danube, which meanders languorously through many vineyards, brings numerous microclimates to the vineyards.
