In the Glass — Tasting Notes
The 2024 Bisamberg opens with ripe pear and mango layered against smoke and dried-fruit depth. On the palate, white apple and blossom honey flow into a spine of mineral crispness that holds everything in perfect balance. Full-bodied yet poised, it finishes bright and mineral—a living expression of Vienna's iconic Gemischter Satz tradition where Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Chardonnay grow and ferment as one.
The Winery — Wieninger
Fritz Wieninger stands at the forefront of the New Vienna movement, honouring over a century of family winemaking while pushing toward modernity and rigour. His philosophy centres on revealing each vineyard's character: "To show the differences in site and vintage and get the character into the bottle—this is my greatest challenge." This Bisamberg comes from a 35-hectare vineyard among Vienna's finest, farmed organically and biodynamically since 2012 on sandy loess over limestone. Hand-picked together, the three varieties—Pinot Blanc (40%), Pinot Gris (40%), Chardonnay (20%)—were macerated for three hours and cool-fermented with natural yeasts. That co-fermentation is the soul of the wine: it captures each grape's voice while uniting them into one mineral-driven, vegan-friendly whole.
At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving
Already approachable, this wine rewards immediate drinking with harmony and liveliness. The mineral core and aromatic lift pair beautifully with shellfish and crustaceans, white fish, sushi and raw preparations, herb-driven dishes, and spicy Asian cuisine. Chill to 8–10°C and serve as an aperitivo, at summer lunches, or as a weeknight companion to light salads and seafood.
