Kollwentz
Leithaberg | Großhöflein
The Kollwenz family has been working the soils of the Burgenland for ten generations with precision farming and winemaking that has earned them the reputation as one of the region’s top producers. The family’s major focus is the Leithaberg, hilly mosaic of altitudes, expositions, and chalky soils that Andi Kollwentz says seems “predestined” for Chardonnay, whose existence in the region hardly trails Burgundy. Blaufränkisch too plays a role, as the family coaxes mineral, nuanced whites and reds from such ancient, articulate vineyards as Leithakalk, Katterstein, and Setz.
Kollwentz 2020 Blaufränkisch “Leithakalk”
Blaufränkisch is Burgenland´s traditional grape variety. It thrives well in the Pannonian climate on the southern slopes of the Leithagebirge with their calcareous loam soils. It stands out for its lovely berry fruit and elegant spiciness.
