Neuburger
Neuburger is a natural crossing of Roter Veltiner & Sylvaner, and former Neuburger memorial (now the Niederösterreich wine memorial) in Arnsdorf in the Wachau region commemorates the origin of this autochthonous variety
A significant variety in the Wachau, the Thermenregion and on the Leithaberg. Between 1999 and 2020, the area planted with this variety decreased significantly. Neuburger is particularly found in drier areas such as the Thermenregion. In Burgenland it may be used alongside Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Grüner Veltliner for white Leithaberg DAC
It deliveres mostly dense, full-bodied yet mild subtle wines. When young, they tend to be spicy & floral, with nuttiness developing with age
