About Weingut Berger Leginthov

wein.plus classification:
One of the best producers of the region The wines keep constant high level and are usually the best in their respective category in the area.

The winery is located in the municipality of Mönchhof in the Burgenland wine-growing region of Neusiedlersee (Austria). It was built up by the family practically from scratch in 1975. After training in viticulture at the viticultural schools in Eisenstadt and Krems and internships at two renowned wineries in Austria and California, the winery has been run by Johannes Berger since 2000. Between 2006 and 2008, the winery was expanded and modernised with new buildings for processing (press house) and storage.

Vineyards & grape varieties

The vineyards cover 18 hectares of vines in the Breitenteiläcker, Holzäcker, Kurzbürg, Langbürg, Obere Pohnpühl, Pötschenäcker, Rappühlweingärten, Spählingäcker, Theiltenäcker, Waldäcker and Wiesenackerl vineyards. They are planted with the red wine varieties Zweigelt, Shiraz (Syrah), St. Laurent, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Rathay, as well as the white wine varieties Grüner Veltliner, Chardonnay, Scheurebe, Welschriesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Neuburger and Gewürztraminer. The vineyards are cultivated using natural, environmentally friendly methods. These include plant protection products that are gentle on beneficial insects, fertilisation only after prior assessment and no use of herbicides.

Winemaking & product range

The cellar work is carried out largely without the use of chemical cleaning agents; instead, hot water and high-pressure cleaners are used. Both traditional methods and modern technology are used for vinification. Fermentation is largely carried out with pure yeasts, while certain wines are fermented spontaneously for individual development. The grapes for the white wines are slowly fermented without destemming after gentle pressing and matured in stainless steel tanks or in traditional large wooden barrels.

The destemmed grapes for the red wines are mash-fermented in vats or special red wine fermentation tanks (with over-pumping) and are then left to macerate for one to four weeks. Depending on the type of wine, ageing takes place for 8 to 12 months in stainless steel or 18 to 30 months in large wooden barrels or barriques. In years with suitable weather conditions, Trockenbeerenauslese and ice wines are also produced.
