2025 Koppitsch 'Homok' White Blend, Burgenland, Austria

Alex and Maria Koppitsch farm biodynamically around Neusiedl am See. Homok, Hungarian for “sand,” comes from the sandy, windswept Seefeld vineyard near the lake’s marshes, with vines planted from 1978 on. It co-ferments Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc after whole-bunch pressing in an old screw press, and it’s bottled unfined and unfiltered with just a touch of sulfur. Mango, banana and citrus meet a zingy, salty, mineral finish at only 11%, so it’s an easy-breezy porch wine.
