2025 Weingut Alexander & Maria Koppitsch 'Dio', Burgenland, Austria

$25.99

70% Chardonnay, 30% Welschriesling

Vineyard: Planted in 2017, 0.44 hectares. Lakeside limestone hills with clay topsoil.

Koppitsch on the vineyard: “Neuberg belongs to the best vineyard sites Burgenland has to offer. It is one of the oldest vineyard sites in our area. Vines have been growing here for many of hundreds of years. Neuberg is a very rocky limestone hill in the northwest of the village Neusiedl and belongs to the Leithaberg Mountains. Its hills are softly rolling towards the lake and slope either southeast or north south. The soil is diverse, ranging from pretty scarce and surfacing huge amounts of limestone fragments (in some parts schist) to heavy, rich loam.”

Making of: Grapes are hand-harvested and processed in the backyard. Whole bunches are direct-pressed in a screw press, with the juice aged in fiberglass and large oak barrels.  Bottled in April 2026 unfined, unfiltered, with a touch of SO2 added at bottling.

Personality (winemaker’s notes): “Happy, joyful, buzzing, fun, confident, indoors/outdoors/all seasons. Pair with good vibes and share with generosity.” Drink cold or not, and don’t be afraid to shake up the lees in the bottle!
