2021 von der Vogelwaide 'Frauwelt' Blanc, Wachau, Austria
$59.99
30% Neuburger, 30% Grüner Veltliner, 30% Riesling, 10% Chardonnay. All of the many tiny Vogelwaide parcels are represented in this blend; as such, it’s the flagship wine of the winery. The term ‘Frau Welt’ represented temptation and allure in the Middle Ages: the personification of worldly pleasure—it’s inspired by a poem of Walther von der Vogelwaide, a medieval poet from the region: “Frau Welt, ich hab von dir getrunken!” The cuvée name indicates the duo’s Rhône-inspired cuvées, and the grapes for this cuvée come from Vogelwaide’s steepest sites. Magisterial – think Hermitage blanc, but not weighty; Rheingau Riesling, but not so beveled; or Burgenland, with depth.
