WE ARE
AT DREYHOF IN PURBACH

With his top dry whites of the 2022 vintage, Leo Sommer reached the top league of Austrian dry Riesling and Grüner Veltliner:

Stuart tasted more novel wines with the rising winemaker Leo Sommer at the ProWein trade fair in Dusseldorf. The most daring of these was the Sommer Riesling Burgenland Handwerk 2022, which has an enormous nose of white peach, dried red flowers and wild herbs. For a dry Riesling it has a generous tannin structure but also the concentration to easily carry this. Stuart loved the peach puree and sea salt character at the very dynamic finish.

Even more impressive was the Sommer Grüner Veltliner Leithaberg Ried Halser 2022, a game-changer for this grape in the Leithaberg region. It has all the smoke and chalk you could wish for in a dry white with mind-boggling flinty intensity married to great ripeness and beautiful balance.
With these wines Sommer has moved into Austria’s top league for dry Riesling and Gruner Veltliner.
