“Acacia wood gives this wine a lot of youth as well as acacia blossom and honey aromas. This is a very good and fascinating wine. The combination of the acacia wood barrel and the Sauvignon Blanc grape makes it a very elegant and interesting wine. Very clean, very elegant.” -Vintner Franz Heiss

This 2001 Beerenauslese from Franz Heiss was aged 12 months in small barrels made from acacia wood.

Ratings and Raves

Wine Enthusiast 90 - “Nicely done late-harvest Sauvignon Blanc, blending apricot and pineapple aromatics with flavors of honey and tangerines. It’s medium in body, with a finish that’s honeyed without being cloying. Editors Choice.”
Wine & Spirits 92 - “With aromas of candied citrus, tea leaves and a pleasant greenness, this isn’t your typical BA, yet it’s fascinating in its focused, racy brightness. The sleek acidity balances the dense ripeness, making this seem effortless and animated.”
