Welschriesling 2023 - HERITAGE

Welschriesling Heritage 2023 – Berta Winery , Strekov, Slovakia

The Heritage range represents the pinnacle of Vinárstvo Berta's winemaking philosophy, combining generations of family tradition with modern cellar expertise. Sourced from the estate's finest vineyard parcels in Strekov, this premium Welschriesling (Rizling vlašský) is crafted to express both the character of the variety and the unique terroir of southern Slovakia.

Bright golden-yellow in colour, the wine reveals an elegant bouquet of autumn orchard fruits, ripe tropical notes and a delicate touch of honey. The palate is beautifully textured and gently creamy, balanced by vibrant acidity that brings freshness and precision. Layers of ripe pear, yellow apple and citrus unfold across the palate, leading to a long, mineral finish with impressive depth and complexity.

Part of Berta's exclusive Heritage collection, this wine benefits from a combination of spontaneous fermentation in new oak barrels and temperature-controlled fermentation, creating a harmonious balance between richness, freshness and varietal purity. With excellent structure and ageing potential of over ten years, it is a wine that will continue to evolve beautifully in bottle.
