Description
Heidi is the long-time leader of Cercle Ruster Ausbruch, an organization whose goal is to bring back Ausbruch, a sweet wine reminiscent of Hungary’s Royal Tokaji that had not existed since the phylloxera outbreak in the 19th century. Ausbruch is harvested from botrytized grapes with a must weight between BA and TBA (138 Oechsle) and Heidi’s wine is one of Rust’s iconic examples of this noble sweet wine. Variety: Welschriesling and Furmint Region: Leithaberg Vineyard: Ried Turner, Ried Greiner, and Ried Kraxner Soil Type: Loam, limestone and primary rock Fermentation & Élevage: Late harvest, fermented slowly in neutral, small oak casks
