Georg Preisinger, Chardonnay, Ungerberg, 2021, Burgenland, Austria
Producer Profile
Viticulture has been the focus of the Preisinger family for five generations. What began in 1851 as mixed farming with animal husbandry has developed over generations into today’s winery.
5th Generation Georg Preisinger, put it quite simply in and of itself: “You can taste the origin of good wine. The love for it, too.”
The rocket is a carefully chosen symbol for their wines. It stands for the journey through time that becomes possible through the enjoyment of strong-charactered wines: The immersion into a past year, the taste structure of the past handed down through time to the present. Sun, coolness, rain, dryness. But also, the overcoming of distances – which good wine masters so well. By the way, you can experience a journey through time of the special kind on board our top wines: with up to 47-year-old vines that encompass some of the oldest vegetative memories of the vineyards of Gols.
Viticulture
The Chardonnay grows on the Ungerberg, one of the warmest locations in the country. A light, sandy, loamy soil gives our grapes a high level of ripeness, beautiful body and ripe fruit every year.
Winemaking
Since the 2017 vintage, the Chardonnay Ungerberg has been spontaneously fermented with the skins on the mash, stored for 3 weeks and then aged in used 500 litre barrels for 3 years. This makes it a mature, creamy, full-bodied and high-quality single-vineyard wine.
Tasting Note
Bright yellow. Delicate white fruit nuances, mineral touch. Beautiful complexity, pleasantly woven touch of wood, creamy texture, a hint of blossom honey in the finish, a balanced food accompaniment. Matured – creamy – full.
Goes well with
Risotto with porcini mushrooms, sumptuous and intense fish (Monkfish, Hake), fish roasted or braised in the oven, roasted or grilled seafood.
Cellaring
2 to 15 years.
