This beautiful wine shows great elegance. It is not just sweet, it is sophisticated as well, bringing delicious acidity, dryness and exotic fruits. To finish, there is a fruit salad of flavors, combined with spice and a lingering aftertaste. Imported by Winemonger.com.

With their generic Ruster Ausbruch, Kurt and Hans Feiler are able to make fascinating blends, such as this combination of Chardonnay, Neuburger, Weissburgunder and Welschriesling. With this mix, and after more than 5 years, this is a wine that doesn’t show fruit as much as richness. It is creamy and opulent, showing some spice; still young at heart, with dry…

This is the pinnacle of achievement from an outstanding dessert wine producer. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc, it is an explosion of hugely rich, hugely sweet fruit, with brown sugar, raisins and tight acidity. This is an astonishingly rich wine, likely to age for at least 10 years.

The Ausbruch style is typical of the Burgenland. It lies somewhere between Beerenauslese and TBA in sweetness, from the most shrivelled berries.

A rich, luxuriant wine, with smooth, ripe fruit balancing sweet honey, dry botrytis and poised, fresh acidity. A toasty, vanilla flavor gives an exotic feel to this wine, which should last for many years. Cellar Selection.

Made from Grauburgunder and Weissburgunder, this is an intensely ripe wine, with aromas from the Pinot Gris and weight from the Pinot Blanc. There’s an edge of pepper alongside fresh acidity. Ripe oranges give a lift to the aftertaste.

There’s great depth to this wine. It is sweet, yes, but the range of fruits—from apricot to white pears to orange peel—and the weight and richness give it great intensity of flavor. In 10 years, this will be even better.
