Pinot Noir, Süss, Trockenbeerenauslese, Lang, Neusiedlersee, 1998/1999
Yes, "1998/1999" was written on the label of one bottle. Anyone know
for sure what the two years signify? -- Steve Slatcher http://pobox.com/~steve.slatcher |

According to Austrian (and EU) wine law, the vintage on the label has to correspond to the year of the growing season, not the harvest itself. So it seems to be a blend of two vintages. M. |

From the Austrian Wine Law (Weingesetz): | Staatliche Prüfnummer | § 31. (1) ... | (4) Der Antrag auf Erteilung der staatlichen Prüfnummer hat | Name, Betriebsnummer und Anschrift des Verfügungsberechtigten | sowie Angaben über den Aufbewahrungsort des Weines, über die | Weinart (Farbe, Verschnitt, Jahrgang, Qualitätsweinrebsorte, ^^^^^^^^ | Menge, örtliche Herkunft, Qualitätsstufe, Mostgewicht, | Anreicherung) sowie Angaben über die beabsichtigte Bezeichnung | des Weines, Angaben über die Lagerung und bei Prädikatswein die | dem Wein zugrunde liegenden Mostchargennummern und Teilmengen zu | enthalten. But I have have seen, many, many, many examples of wines not exactly labelled as the law would require. I guess we have another example here. M. |

I've just reread the section. It says "Qualitätsweinrebsorte" also in singular. There is no doubt that a blend of two or more varieties, in fact, is legal for Qualitätswein. So possibly a blend of vintages might be legal, too. M. |
