This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety: Scheurebe. Only the finest grapes were harvested for this wonderfully elegant, single-varietal wine from the Angerhof Tschida estate. The vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow in Burgenland on sandy and black earth soils. At peak ripeness, the grapes are harvested entirely by hand. They are then sorted and carefully pressed in the winery. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
The result is a brilliant dessert wine that appears pale yellow in the glass. It has wonderfully expressive notes of star fruit, quince, Nashi pear, and papaya. The Illmitzer Spätlese can be described as exceptionally fruity and velvety, as it was vinified with a delightfully sweet flavor profile. This silky dessert wine presents itself light-footed and layered on the palate. Thanks to the presence of fruit acidity, the Illmitzer Spätlese reveals itself impressively fresh and lively on the palate. Ultimately, this long-lasting dessert wine from the Burgenland wine region impresses with its good length. Hints of mango and quince are again evident. Mineral notes emerge from the soil dominated by black earth and sand.
