Oak-aged red with delicate redcurrant notes
This oak-aged red from the Blaufränkisch grape variety has flavours of blackberries, red cherries and redcurrants. It has delicate, savoury style and refreshing acidity.
Austria’s wines are now highly acclaimed both by wine experts and wine lovers all around the world. As artisanal products crafted by winemakers with a special link to their land, they consistently demonstrate their potential at international blind tastings.
Over recent years, the great potential of Austrian grape varieties has become ever more apparent, and Grüner Veltliner is pre-eminent amongst these. International successful varieties such as Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc), Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet all ripen in particular regions and sites in Austria, producing great wines in their own right, with finesse and regional typicity.
At the same time, international wine experts are discovering exciting rare varieties such as Zierfandler, Rotgipfler, Roter Veltliner, Neuburger and Wiener Gemischter Satz, as well as Austria’s typical red wines made from Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch and Sankt Laurent. Austria also has truly terroir-driven jewels including rosé-coloured Schilcher from Steiermark, made from the Blauer Wildbacher grape variety, as well as the noble sweet Prädikatsweine from the Neusiedlersee, especially those made from Welschriesling.
