Viniou Reviews
The 2017 Cuvée Weissburgunder from Weingut Georg Schmelzer is an intriguing orange wine from the Burgenland region of Austria. Made primarily from the Pinot Blanc grape, this wine is crafted using biodynamic practices, reflecting a commitment to environmental sustainability. The vinification process for orange wines like this typically involves extended skin contact, which imparts an amber hue and enhances the wine's texture, giving it a complexity and depth reminiscent of red wine.
Burgenland, where this wine is produced, is a prominent Austrian wine region known for its diverse microclimates and varied soils. The region benefits from a Pannonian climate, which is characterised by hot, dry summers and cold winters. The influence of the nearby Lake Neusiedl moderates temperatures and allows for a longer growing season. Burgenland’s soils range from sandy clay to gravel, lending themselves well to a broad array of grape varieties.
When considering food pairings, the 2017 Cuvée Weissburgunder's structure and unique profile make it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes. Its robust character can stand up to hearty fare such as roasted lamb or poultry. It also pairs beautifully with Middle Eastern cuisine, including dishes like falafel or spiced lamb kebabs. The wine's acidity and tannic structure harmonise well with the complex flavours of Moroccan tajine or a classic German Tafelspitz. For a regional touch, try pairing it with Austrian specialities such as Wiener schnitzel.
For optimal enjoyment, serve this orange wine at a temperature of 12–14°C. This allows the wine’s nuanced bouquet to fully express itself, revealing layers of dried fruit, nuts, and a subtle minerality. Decanting the wine briefly before serving can also help to open up its flavours and aromas. This wine offers a distinct and memorable tasting experience, celebrating the traditional craftsmanship of Burgenland's biodynamic viticulture.
