HAIDER<br />

You can defend yourself against criticism,<br />

but against praise one is powerless,”<br />

is the motto of family Haider.<br />

They’ve earned the right to say so, with innumerable<br />

successes on the Austrian and international<br />

wine stage. Standards have been<br />

set high for the young vintner couple<br />

Theresa and Gerhard, the fourth generation<br />

to manage the estate. One could say that<br />

everything is new except the wines and the<br />

quality, with the couple taking over the reins<br />

from Gerhard’s father Martin. Thirteen different<br />

varieties are planted on sand, gravel,<br />

and chernozem soils. The soil and the unique<br />

climate are the source of equally unique<br />

wines. All white and noble sweet wines are<br />

vinified in stainless steel. The complete series<br />

of Haider wines excels with finesse, elegance,<br />

fruit and varietal character. Botrytis<br />

and honey notes accentuate the inimitable<br />

character of the region. The red wines of the<br />

house appear in two styles – one is<br />

easy-drinking and fruity, while the reserve<br />

wines are powerful and voluptuous with<br />

plenty of character.<br />

Deep yellow with gold highlights. Candied mandarin<br />

zest, fresh pineapple and delicate blossom honey. Lusciously<br />

sweet and creamy texture with ripe yellow<br />

peach elegantly lifted with a fine spine of acid. Very well<br />

balanced and equipped with a long finish and superb<br />

ageing potential.<br />

Brilliant green-yellow with silver highlights. Ripe lychee and<br />

nutmeg nuances, mandarin zest, oleander and fresh blossom<br />

honey comprise an inviting bouquet. Lusciously sweet, complex<br />

and creamy. Pineapple and delicate vegetal nuances mingle<br />

with orange zest on the long finish of this opulent style.<br />
