Weingut Heinrich Naked White 2020

Naked and unadorned, this is a natural biodynamic white blend that hides nothing. Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Muskat-Ottonel, Pinot Gris are sourced from vineyards on both sides of Burgenland’s Lake Neusidel, rooted into limestone, schist, gravel soils. After a native ferment in stainless, this rested 14 months on lees in large, older oak before being bottled unfiltered with minimal sulphur.

The wine opens with a wave of reduction before moving into a creamy, saline palate of pear and pear skin, grapefruit pith, and broken stones to a clean finish. Incredibly interesting Austrian rock juice.
