Goldenits
Goldenits is situated in Neusiedlersee, the warm continental region of Burgenland that defines Austrian wine's eastern frontier. The winery draws on the lake's moderating influence and the region's long growing season to craft wines of depth and structure. Its Reserve Zweigelt and Chardonnay Trockenbeerenauslese both achieved a prestige rating of 91.0 from Falstaff, demonstrating command of both dry and sweet expressions. The Best Of blend—a composition of Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon—reflects the region's capacity for complex, multi-varietal wines. Zweigelt, Austria's signature red, forms the backbone of the portfolio, while the inclusion of Chardonnay in botrytized form signals engagement with the noble rot conditions that Neusiedlersee's microclimate permits. These wines anchor Goldenits within a region known for balancing ripeness with acidity, producing reds of dark fruit and spice alongside dessert wines of concentration and elegance.
