    Vineyards: 90+ hectares (222+ acres) www.kwselection.com/wineries/leohillinger.pdf Varieties: Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, St. Laurent, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir Wine Region Burgenland: It is a unique wine-producing region in an Austrian context as the most recognizable wines produced here are based on white and red varieties almost at same level. On top, sweet wines are produced based on the naturally occuring Botrytis Cinerea. This region produces by far the biggest amount of red wine in Austria. This is the reason why it is also unofficially called the red wine quarter of the country. The winery Hillinger is in the north of Burgenland, between the Leithaberg and the lake Neusiedl. This subregion is known for it’s unique whites and sweets. This can be attributed to the plentiful sunshine and the cooler nights the region experiences which averages of more than 2000 hours per year Soil and Climate: The primary rock is slate and lime. The perfect vineyards for our Pinot’s are limestone and brown soil and for Blaufränkisch on lime. Hot, dry summers and cold winters express fruitiness and retain acidity in the wines combined with the temperature-regulating influence of the lake Neusiedl, guarantees long vegetation periods for full ripeness of grapes. High humidity and autumn fog and drying sun during the day helps to develop botrytis cinerea, which forms the basis for our top quality sweet wines, such as TBA Small Hill Sweet and TBA Hill 3. The success story of the Leo Hillinger wine-growing estate...With a 90+-hectare area under cultivation in Austria, the Hillinger wine-growing estate is one of the largest high-quality wine producers in Austria.

    Viticulture and Winemaking Under Climate Change

    agronomy Editorial Viticulture and Winemaking under Climate Change Helder Fraga Centre for the Research and Technology of Agro-Environmental and Biological Sciences, CITAB, Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, UTAD, 5000-801 Vila Real, Portugal; [email protected]; Tel.: +351-259-350-000 Received: 12 November 2019; Accepted: 19 November 2019; Published: 21 November 2019 Abstract: The importance of viticulture and the winemaking socio-economic sector is acknowledged worldwide. The most renowned winemaking regions show very specific environmental characteristics, where climate usually plays a central role. Considering the strong influence of weather and climatic factors on grapevine yields and berry quality attributes, climate change may indeed significantly impact this crop. Recent-past trends already point to a pronounced increase in the growing season mean temperatures, as well as changes in the precipitation regimes, which has been influencing wine typicity across some of the most renowned winemaking regions worldwide. Moreover, several climate scenarios give evidence of enhanced stress conditions for grapevine growth until the end of the century. Although grapevines have a high resilience, the clear evidence for significant climate change in the upcoming decades urges adaptation and mitigation measures to be taken by the sector stakeholders. To provide hints on the abovementioned issues, we have edited a special issue entitled: “Viticulture and Winemaking under Climate Change”. Contributions from different fields were considered, including crop and climate modeling, and potential adaptation measures against these threats. The current special issue allows the expansion of the scientific knowledge of these particular fields of research, also providing a path for future research.

  • 2001 Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay

    2001 Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay

    2001 Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay Region: Coonawarra, South Australia Varieties: 85% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay Tirage Age: Aged on yeast lees for 5 years prior to disgorging Technical Analysis: 12.5% alc./vol. Background: Winemaker Kym Tolley, with over 25 years of winemaking experience and a direct descendent of the famous Penfold wine family, founded the estate in 1988 in the heart of Coonawarra. Penley Estate’s Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay affirms that the world’s best sparkling wines are produced in the traditional method. ‘Method Champenoise’ sees the classic varieties of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier harvested early, fermented and blended into a base wine, then re-fermented in bottle to capture the fine bubbles produced. Maturation on fermentation lees builds texture and complexity, adding the desired yeasty aromas and flavors. Coonawarra’s almost forgotten variety of pinot noir is well suited to the consistent cool climate growing conditions necessary for sparkling wine fruit selection. The predominance of pinot noir affords this wine its aging ability, while the Chardonnay contributes elegance and finesse. Tasting Notes: Penley Estate’s 2001 Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay is light pink in color and exudes aromas of nutty strawberry, pear, crisp apple and creamy brioche. This elegant wine owes its body and weight from the young pinot noir fruit. In turn, the chardonnay component offers structure, length and acidity. The tantalizing fruit flavors from this blend are heightened by a fine persistent bead, rounded middle palate, and crisp acidity. Enjoy now through 2009.

    PREVIEWCOPY Introduction Previewing this guidebook? If you are previewing this guidebook in advance of purchase, please check out our enhanced preview, which will give you a deeper look at this guidebook. Wine guides for the ultra curious, Approach Guides take an in-depth look at a wine region’s grapes, appellations and vintages to help you discover wines that meet your preferences. The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered. What’s in this guidebook • Grape varieties. We describe the Loire’s primary red and white grape varieties and where they reach their highest expressions. • Vintage ratings. We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles. Leveraging our map of the region, we provide detailed pro- files of appellations from all five of the Loire’s sub-regions (running from west to east): Pays Nantais, Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Central Vineyards. For each appellation, we describe the prevailing terroir, the types of wine produced and what makes them distinctive. • A distinctive approach. This guidebook’s approach is unique: rather than tell you what specific bottle of wine to order by providing individual bottle reviews, it gives the information you need to make informed wine choices on any list.
