It is not for nothing that Erwin is affectionately called "Mr. Neuburger," for hardly any winemaker devotes as much attention and sensitivity to this grape variety as he does. Tinhof's Neuburger Leithaberg DAC is exemplary of this philosophy: the aromas are neither loud nor obtrusive – rather, they are quiet, understated, and profound; a wine that demands time and attention, and rewards you precisely for it. On the nose, it reveals fine nutty notes, ripe apple, pear, a hint of herbs, and chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine presents itself as wonderfully balanced and precise, with an elegant creaminess and a remarkable length that lingers long. A quiet, great wine that does not show off its class, but lets you feel it.
A characterful Austrian white wine from the Leithaberg DAC, ideal with poultry, veal, mushroom dishes, fish, aged cheese, or vegetarian cuisine – and a must-have for lovers of finely nuanced, terroir-driven wines.
