Birgit Eichinger - Wiengut Eichinger

2/20/2017

"Great wines start in the mind..."

Brigit Eichinger is originally from Strass, Austria. She has 5 high quality vineyards, Hasel Stangl, Wechselberg, Gaisberg, Heiligenstein, Lamm.

These vineyards are described as the most authentic and traditional by the association of traditional Austrian vineyards, (est.1992). These vineyards preserve the native varieties of the grape type of their region and their unique terroir. For example, the Stangl vineyard on a slope facing south, is a continuation of the Wechselberg mountain. As a result of the weathering of granite and gneiss, which is the decalcification of glacial deposits, the Stangl soil is composed largely of loess, clay, and gravel. Sand and lime-free clay in a variety of forms, were transported by ice, water and wind in the Austrian Kamp valley. This terroir makes a big impact on her wines and make them so special and different.

Brigit feels complete in all its facets as a woman in her profession and also as mother. One of her big dreams was to leave her heritage to someone, she has fulfilled this dream by leaving her legacy in the hands of her daughter. Now Miss Gloria Eichinger will be the one to continue with the image and work that her mother has taught her since she was a child. She loves spending time with Gloria- especially visiting antique shops; and loves reading books in her free time.

Mrs. Eichinger is content in doing her job everyday. As a woman, she does not find great rivalry with men apart from their physical strength. She is proud of the results she has achieved through her wines and wants to share her experience with women who taste her wines. She hopes that when they drink it, they will enjoy it drop by drop as much as she enjoys it.
This time my selection is:

Roter Veltliner - Ried Stangl 2015
100% Roter Veltliner

Color lemon yellow rather pale, much shine, a small watery fringe with very fine tears.

Incredible in the nose, characteristic aromas of the grape type and terroir, elder flowers, fresh pink, aromas of fresh bread dough.

In mouth Semi-dry, slightly fruity, very acidulous well unified, a great harmony and freshness a bitter-soft final and tender in palate.

Food pairing : I tried with Oysters and lemon! AMAZING!

Art Pairing: The writter and nobel prize winner : Baroness Bertha von Suttner
