Together with his wife Bernadette and cellar master Kathrin, Markus tends 13 hectares of vines scattered mainly on two of the Leithaberg appellation's premier single-vineyards, Gritschenberg and Jungenberg.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eI visited Markus back in 2022. Him and Bernadette welcomed me into their home and winery in Jois. The table was dressed with rocks holding ocean fossils from the area, a beautiful spread of cheeses and cold cuts, and the full range of their wines. Their hospitality was so warm I'm not sure I ever adequately thanked them. I am stoked to find their wines in Ontario again!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eThey love working with Blaufränkisch and honestly master it wonderfully, but then there's this. Their beautifully delicate skin-contact white made from Neuburger, a natural crossing of Roter Veltliner and Sylvaner. The wine goes by the name 'Betont' because that's concrete in German, which is where the wine ferments and ages. Shortly macerated for about a week on the skins, plus that ageing with the lees in concrete eggs. It's earthy, woody, nutty. A touch of tropical fruit, fun pineapple something, white asian pear, a little herbal spice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e An uncommon variety, masterfully expressed in Markus's hands!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Markus Altenburger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52379275559214,"sku":null,"price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/5815\/0190\/files\/Markus_Altenburger_Neuburger_Betont_2023.png?v=1785936018","url":"https:\/\/canarycounter.com\/products\/sin-titulo-31jul_16-13-51","provider":"Canary Counter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
