ABOUT THIS WINE
Weingut Gernot & Heike Heinrich, located in Gols, Burgenland, was founded in 1990 with just a single hectare of vines. Gernot and Heike became pioneers by introducing high-quality red winemaking to a region historically dominated by basic white wines. In 2006, they fully converted the estate to biodynamic viticulture, becoming founding members of the respekt-BIODYN association. This Pinot Noir is grown on the cool, limestone-rich slopes of the Leitha Mountains (Leithagebirge) and the Parndorfer Platte on the northeastern shores of Lake Neusiedl. The estate's philosophy centers on low-intervention, terroir-focused "living wines" that reflect the unique, fragile beauty of the grape and its soils.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are 100% hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Gentle maceration on the skins takes place for approximately two weeks in large wooden vats. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately seven months on its fine lees in large wooden tuns and neutral 500-liter oak barrels. In line with natural winemaking principles, the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur additions.
