WINE DESCRIPTION

Produced by the acclaimed winemaker Birgit Braunstein, this Chardonnay is crafted from grapes grown on schist and limestone soils, which impart a distinctive minerality to the wine. Hand-harvested to ensure optimal quality, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged on the lees for six months, enhancing its complexity and texture. The result is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with fresh, vibrant acidity, subtle notes of stone fruits, and a lingering, elegant finish. Birgit Braunstein Chardonnay Felsenstein exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship and the unique terroir of Burgenland.
