Weissburgunder 2023 Lieselehof

Weissburgunder 2023 – Lieselehof

Alpine finesse in a glass: pure Pinot Bianco from South Tyrol

The Weissburgunder 2023 is a refined and expressive organic Pinot Blanc grown at 500 meters altitude in the “Kardatsch” vineyard near Caldaro. Planted in 1985, the vines thrive in loamy soils with limestone and gravel, producing healthy, compact bunches. With controlled yields and minimal intervention, this wine offers an honest expression of its terroir: fresh, structured, and full of fruit.

A classic grape in a mountain setting

Pinot Blanc, originally from France, finds a perfect home in the cool Alpine climate. Here, strict yield management — with no more than 2 kg of grapes per vine — ensures aromatic complexity and vibrant acidity. Harvested from mid to late September, the grapes reach ideal ripeness with 18–19° Babo sugar levels.

Tasting profile

Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections. The bouquet is intensely fruity and floral, with notes of pear, apple, hawthorn blossoms, and a subtle hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is round and juicy, yet remarkably refined and elegant, offering both structure and freshness in equal measure.

Food pairings

A superb aperitif wine, it pairs beautifully with light appetizers, white meats, freshwater fish, and vegetarian dishes. A versatile and noble white wine for everyday enjoyment or fine dining.

Lieselehof – Morandell Estate

Family roots and sustainable innovation

Lieselehof is a family-run winery based in Caldaro, at the foot of the Mendola Pass in South Tyrol. Founded in 1993 by the Morandell family on limestone and gravel soils between 250 and 1250 m a.s.l., it takes its name from “Liesele,” Elisabeth, the founder’s wife. Today it is managed by the second generation, Julian and Maximilian, and stands out for its focus on sustainability and innovation with disease-resistant PIWI varieties.

Organic viticulture and PIWI grape pioneers

A pioneer in Italy, Lieselehof was among the first wineries to adopt PIWI grapes—fungus-resistant varieties that eliminate the need for chemical treatments. The vineyards are certified organic, managed without herbicides or pesticides, with a deep respect for biodiversity and soil health. Yields are limited to 1.5 kg per plant to ensure high-quality, concentrated fruit.

A living vineyard museum

The estate hosts a remarkable Vine Museum, with more than 350 grape varieties from around the world. It is a unique biodiversity collection open to visitors. Lieselehof is also a wine resort and agritourism facility offering vineyard tours, tastings, and accommodation in eco-friendly apartments for a complete wine immersion experience.

Winemaking and style

In the cellar, vinification follows natural and non-invasive methods: spontaneous fermentations, no synthetic additives, and minimal filtration. The range includes crisp whites like Julian, elegant reds from Pinot Noir, orange wines from Solaris and Bronner, as well as traditional method and ancestral sparkling wines. The style is expressive, mineral, and structured—natural wines that age gracefully and reflect their alpine terroir.
