Burgenlander Rot

2009 Burgenland blaufränkisch 50%, zweigelt 50%

The Pittnauer Burgenlander Rot is a delightful expression of Burgenland, showcasing the harmonious blend of fifty percent Blaufränkisch and fifty percent Zweigelt. This red wine is vibrant and enticing, displaying a deep ruby color that captivates the eye. On the palate, it reveals a medium body with a balanced acidity that offers a refreshing lift, making it a truly engaging experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of ripe red berries and dark cherries that intertwine beautifully with subtle herbal undertones. Tannins are medium, providing a gentle structure without overwhelming the fruit, allowing it to shine through gracefully. The wine is beautifully dry, resulting in a clean finish that invites another sip, perfectly embodying the character of its region. Enjoy this exquisite vintage from 2009 as it reflects both the terroir of Burgenland and the skillful craftsmanship behind its creation.

Austria may not be the first country that springs to mind when you think of quality wine, but this slice of central Europe is home to crisp whites and elegant reds that are well worth seeking out. While many classic grapes are grown here, there are exceptional wines made from varieties you rarely see anywhere else, such as white Grüner Veltliner. Spicy and herbaceous, this wine combines notes of white pepper and asparagus with flint and apple. As for reds, the most planted is Zweigelt. This grape is a hybrid of two other local varietals: the spicy Blaufränkisch and light St. Laurent. It combines the best of both worlds with flavors of chocolate, black pepper and fresh raspberry.
