Weinhof Szemes, run by siblings Anna and Oscar Szemes, has been a family wine business since the early 1900s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: The racy, mineral-driven style typical of green-schist Welschriesling from this corner of Burgenland — bright citrus and orchard fruit over a distinctly stony backbone, dry and taut rather than broad. Clear pale yellow color; on the nose green\u003cbr\u003eapple, grassy notes and subtle citrus fruit. On the palate fresh acidity, a lean to medium-bodied wine with long-lasting minerality. A good match for a simple grilled fish or a plate of soft cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 hours of gentle skin contact, fermented in large oak casks, aged 4 months in oak and 9 months in stainless steel to balance texture and freshness. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and the site's mineral character, in keeping with the region's typical approach to green-schist Welschriesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: Anna and Oscar Szemes are putting the same site-first attention into this relatively new Eisenberg DAC category that their family has spent generations applying to Blaufränkisch — proof that Grünschiefer soil doesn't just make good red wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weinhof Szemes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43182906277986,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/1339\/1970\/files\/Szemes-WelschrieslingEisenberg.png?v=1786493227","url":"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/weinhof-szemes-welschriesling-grunschiefer-eisenberg-dac","provider":"BoundbyWine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
