The Netzl Carnuntum Pinot Blanc Ried Altenberg 2022 is an elegant Austrian white wine with distinct terroir characteristics, which impressively reflects the uniqueness of the Ried Altenberg vineyard in Göttelsbrunn (Carnuntum). The vineyard is characterised by Danube gravel with loess in the subsoil and is situated on a cooler, east-facing gravel hill, with the neighbouring forest exerting a significant influence. The warm Pannonian climate, with hot summer days, long late summers and mild autumns, ensures fully ripe grapes, whilst the Altenberg site simultaneously preserves freshness, lively acidity and pronounced aromatics.


The grapes were selectively harvested by hand on 28 September 2023, with a precise selection of whole bunches and individual grapes. The wine was then aged without intervention in used 500-litre oak barrels and in amphorae, where it was left to rest on all the lees for six months – without racking and stabilised only with the first sulphur treatment. This labour-intensive vinification process gives the wine a delicate structure, a creamy texture and exceptional depth. With an alcohol content of 13.5% vol., it is a wine with great ageing potential, capable of maturing until at least 2033.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Netzl Weißburgunder Altenberg 2022 displays a pale straw-yellow colour with golden highlights. On the nose, elegant aromas of pears, yellow apples and ripe peaches unfold, complemented by nutty and slightly herbaceous notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, creamy and yet fresh, with fine acidity, subtle minerality and a long, harmonious finish in which fruit and spice blend perfectly.
