Prieler Pinot Blanc Leithaberg Weiss 2006
Varietal: Pinot Blanc
Vineyard: Prieler
Region: Austria, Other Europe
Savory and mysteriously mineral and carnal in the nose in a manner reminiscent of Chablis, this fills the mouth with ripe melon, apple, nut oils, and saline fish and chicken stock. Waxy in texture, and with a sense of grip no doubt influenced by pre-fermentative skin contact this utterly fascinating wine is bound to become even more interesting when you play with it at table and chart its evolution. While this wine has no track record, that of the Seeberg and of this grape variety in other wise hands, suggests one can certainly anticipate 3-5 years of fun at least.
