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 2022 Chardonnay "Leithakalk"
Chardonnay has always been native to Burgenland as Klevner. It produces the world's finest wines on limestone soils, which it finds in the Leitha Mountains. Combined with the Pannonian climate, it produces a full-bodied, elegant wine with a delicate spice.
