A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. As best I can tell, this wine is made from Riesling. I was a bit surprised by the intensity of the raisined/PX-like character that was as strong as the botrytis character. Don't know much about this wnry or what other varieties they produce. They seem to specialize in dessert wines as best I can tell.

Sounds interesting. Does it say Riesling? If not I'd be more likely to guess a blend (or possibly Chardonnay).

Nope, Dale...doesn't mention Riesling on the label. I found one reference on the InterNet that it
contained Riesling. My first guess was maybe PinotBlanc.

I don't think I've run across a Riesling from Burgenland. (sure there are some) - mostly reds, with some white blends and Chards. The Ausbruch sweet wines are usually blends. I'd just think as Riesling dessert wines typically command a premium, if Riesling they'd mention

Looks like most of their whites are Welschriesling, Chardonnay, or blends
