The Limestone Whispers From the rocky slopes of Leithaberg, overlooking the glittering Neusiedlersee, comes a Chardonnay that speaks the language of ancient seas. The Muschelkalk soils - shell limestone formed 15 million years ago from fossilized shells and marine creatures - give this wine a saline soul that cannot be replicated. Leo Sommer, 11th generation winemaker, ferments part in delicate French oak, part in stainless steel - not to dominate, but to guide. The result? Chardonnay that dances between exotic exuberance and European elegance. In the glass: Bright gold. On the nose: Ripe yellow apple, sweet pineapple, orange zest, herbal hints. On the palate: The experience explodes - tropical fruits dance with sharp minerality, gentle acidity balances natural sweetness, and the silky texture recalls velvet. The finish is long, saline, leaving you wanting more. This isn't heavy, smoky Chardonnay - this is Chardonnay of purity, of place, of truth. A wine for butter-lemon fish, seared shrimp, an evening of good conversation.
