The Heimann Viognier 2023 is a distinctive white wine from the Heimann Family Estate in Szekszárd, Hungary. This vintage holds special significance as it marks the estate's first certified organic Viognier, reflecting their commitment to sustainable viticulture. 

The Viognier grapes are cultivated in the Bati Kereszt vineyard, known for its north-facing slopes and natural protection from surrounding forests. This cooler microclimate allows for a prolonged ripening period, contributing to the wine's balanced acidity and aromatic complexity. 

The 2023 vintage was harvested manually to ensure optimal grape selection. Post-harvest, the grapes underwent a brief skin contact period of 2-3 hours to extract desired flavors and aromas. Fermentation was initiated in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures to preserve the varietal's fresh fruit characteristics. Subsequently, a portion of the wine was aged in 5-hectoliter wooden barrels, allowing for subtle integration of oak nuances.
