The house brand red is a cuvée of Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and Pinot Noir, which is aged in large used wooden barrels. The Zweigelt brings fruit and charm, the Pinot Noir juiciness and the Blaufränkisch character and structure. From now on, blended from several vintages using the Solera process. Rich fruit on the nose with ripe black cherry and plum, some eucalyptus and a slight smokiness, fine spice of gingerbread. A balanced, dense texture on the palate, it starts fresh and stimulating, then some cinnamon bark, the finely chiseled tannin settles well on the tongue, slightly earthy - rustic - good. [GB 10/2023]

About Austrian Wine
Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn't seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it's wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time.
Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.
In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
