2005 Burgenland 60% Zweigelt, 20% Blaufränkisch, 20% Cabernet

Maximilianhof Maximus is an exquisite red wine hailing from the stunning Burgenland region, crafted with an impressive blend of sixty percent Zweigelt, twenty percent Blaufränkisch, and twenty percent Cabernet. This 2005 vintage exhibits a deep, inviting color that entices the senses. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied character complemented by bright acidity that lends freshness to each sip. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure and sophistication without overpowering the vibrant fruit intensity that bursts with flavors of dark cherry and plum. With its well-balanced dryness, this wine showcases the elegance of Burgenland's terroir, making it a delightful companion for hearty dishes or a cozy evening by the fire.

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.
