Burgenland, Austria— ‘Lustig’, meaning fun or happy in German, is an excellent value Grüner Veltliner made by Josef and Pia Wurzinger at their winery in Tadten Seewinkel in Burgenland, near the Hungarian border. Light on its feet, 12% alcohol with brisk acidity and notes of herbs, minerals, citrus, stone fruits. Certified organic! The Wurzinger estate is located just east of the famous Neusiedlersee lake and the climate is Pannonian, with cold winters and hot summers moderated by the steady breezes from the lake. Lustig Grüner Veltliner 1L is made from a selection of vineyards that feature sand, clay, and gravel with rocky chalk outcroppings. The vineyards are all planted with green cover crops and there are no herbicides used. The wine is macerated for six hours then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel for ten days. It remained on its fine lees for an additional ten weeks before bottling.
