Velvet

2006 Burgenland Blaufränkisch 60%, Zweigelt 35%, Cabernet Sauvignon 5%

Pittnauer Velvet from the renowned Burgenland region is a delightful red wine that showcases the elegant blend of Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine offers a medium-bodied experience with a smooth and velvety texture that caresses the palate. With bright acidity that provides a refreshing lift, it balances beautifully against its moderate fruit intensity, featuring notes of ripe red berries and subtle spice. The tannins are present yet soft, contributing to the wine's overall charm without overwhelming the senses. As a dry red, Pittnauer Velvet delivers an enjoyable experience perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes or simply savoring on its own.

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.
