Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc is a blend once found in Burgundy, but rarely today. Here in Austrian Burgenland, it gives a very rounded style of wine, although with a terroir-marked mineral edge. Baked apples and creamed pear are laced with pink grapefruit.

A particularly rich, unctuous wine, its ripe and oily texture a foil for the lime acidity, the botrytis and the tangy honey flavors. It's an impressive full-in-the-mouth wine, worth aging for several years.
