More about this wine
Wеingut Leth
Franz and Barbara Leth founded Weingut Leth in the early 1960s, in the village of Fels am Wagram. The vineyards are located in the Wagram Valley along the Danube, facing south and on the typical soil type for the region - loess. Half of the total of 42 hectares are planted with Gruner Veltliner - a local variety that originates and is mainly grown in the area. The crop is harvested by hand and a lot of effort is put into the proper pruning and arrangement of the vines. Metal containers with temperature control for fermentation are used. Red wine is aged in French barrels for between 18 and 24 months. Weingut Leth has a rich wine list - from the iconic whites of the Grüner Veltliner, Roter Veltliner, Riesling and red from Zweigelt and Pinot Noir to a sparkling and sweet wine made with the noble mold botrytis. .

Weissburgunder
Weißburgunder or Pinot Blanc is a white wine grape variety used for the production of dry, sparkling and dessert wines. Although not the most glamorous member of the Pinot family, the variety has proven its value in various wine regions, including Alsace in northeastern France, Alto Adige in Italy and parts of Germany and Austria. Pinot Blanc's homeland is Burgundy, but perhaps Alsace is his home, although here it is somewhat overshadowed by the undoubted stars of the region - Riesling and Gevertrazminer. The wines are typical with almond aromas, with a hint of spice, apple and cream flavors. They may also show some mild mineral characteristics, which, however, usually subside after the widely practiced in the region oak maturation. Cremant d'Alsace sparkling wines, on the other hand, tend to be fresher, often showing a variety of nut flavors. The variety is also one of the few allowed in a champagne blend, along with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Munier. Outside France, Pinot Blanc is widely found in northwestern Italy, where it is known as Pinot Bianco. Here the style of wines are lighter, more distinct, rarely touching oak. Pinot Bianco is also used in the production of Italian sparkling wines: especially Franciacorta, Italy's answer to champagne. In Germany and Austria, the variety is known as Weissburgunder or Weisser Burgunder (literally "White Burgundy"). In Germany, the wines are usually light and refreshing, but in Austria the grapes are also used to make the sweet and textured Trockenbeerenauslese.
