The Salzl Spätlese Weiß 2023 is a seductive, delicately fruity white wine with balanced sweetness and refreshing acidity – a real highlight for lovers of elegant Prädikat wines. This fine cuvée is made from the Sämling 88, Chardonnay and Bouvier grape varieties, which thrive in the Seewinkel region of Burgenland on nutrient-rich black earth consisting of loamy silt with a high gravel content. This soil structure imparts intense aromas, lively freshness and a delicate mineral character.

The grapes are fermented at a controlled temperature of 15 °C in steel tanks, with fermentation deliberately halted when the residual sugar content reaches 73.3 g/l – this creates the characteristic, elegant interplay of sweetness and acidity. The wine is then aged on the fine lees for two months, which gives it a creamy texture and added smoothness. With an alcohol content of 10.5 % vol., the 2023 Spätlese Weiß is pleasantly light, yet dense and intensely aromatic. Ready to drink from 2025, the wine has ageing potential until at least 2030.

An ideal wine for connoisseurs seeking fruit-driven sweetness combined with freshness, elegance and depth – both on its own and with sophisticated dishes.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the wine displays a luminous golden-yellow colour with subtle green highlights. The nose is caressed by vineyard peaches, nectarines, elderflower, camomile, blossom honey, pineapple and lychee, complemented by subtle herbal hints, grapefruit and notes of stinging nettle. On the palate, this Spätlese is dense, refined and well-balanced, with an invigorating bouquet of fruit, subtle citrus notes, caramel, peach, apricot and elderberry. The creamy texture, the intense smoothness and the harmonious interplay of sweetness and acidity ensure a multi-layered and seductive drinking experience.

Acidity: 6.2 g/l

Residual sugar: 73.3 g/l

The Salzl Spätlese Weiß 2023 pairs superbly with Asian dishes, poultry and rabbit liver, delicate terrines, cream cheese dishes or light seafood such as shellfish and molluscs. It is also an excellent choice with fruity desserts or as an elegant finale to a meal. Enjoy it well chilled at 8–10 °C – for an aromatically complex, juicy and creamy yet fresh white wine experience full of style and sophistication.
