Gewürztraminer-Ruländer Beerenauslese

Tasting profile (AI-generated)

Structure: full-bodied, medium acidity, sweet

This is a rich, luscious dessert wine that blends the perfumed exotic lift of Gewürztraminer with the softer, honeyed roundness of Pinot Gris. Expect concentrated notes of lychee, dried apricot and honey, balanced by enough acidity to keep the sweetness from feeling heavy. Pöckl is best known for red wines, but their sweet wines from the Neusiedlersee area show the same ripe, generous style typical of botrytis affected Beerenauslese from this lake side region.
