After the excellent 2009 vintage, we had to wait 3 years to produce a new ice wine (Eiswein) at Bruno Landauer . “Climatic luck” once again made it possible to produce an ice wine/eiswein on December 13, 2012 from 100% of the Blaufränkisch grape variety. The temperature at the time of harvest was -9°C , which allowed excellent natural cryo-extraction when the grapes were pressed. This complex wine reveals aromas of yellow peach , apricot , mango , passion fruit , pineapple , honey , quince , citrus , bergamot , acacia flowers and bergamot . The length in the mouth is completely comparable to the best German Riesling eisweins, which are, as you may know, the absolute reference in the field.

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.
