Hafner 2006 Cuvée Eiswein White (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Harvested in January 2007, this has the true purity and freshness of icewine. There is lightness and delicacy as the ripe apricot sweetness is pierced with floating acidity. There is a sweet, but fresh and clean finish.

Hafner 2007 Essencia Trockenbeerenauslese Scheurebe (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Hafner has a particular success with this Scheurebe sweet wine. Rich, with apricot flavors, the acidity brings out a delicious freshness. Honey dances around the liquid syrup texture, the botrytis giving the proper dry core.

Hafner 2001 Essencia Eiswein Chardonnay (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Hafner has been a pioneer of Austrian ice wine. Not every one in their considerable range of ice wines work. This one does. It has just that right piercing acidity to give a heart-stopping lift to the sweetness of the wine. The sweet pineapple and peach flavors add extra richness.

Hafner 1998 Trockenbeerenauslese Chardonnay (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $55
Very rich, as you might expect from botrytised Chardonnay. It remains surprisingly young, no sign of 11 years’ aging, with the acidity coming through freshly over the maple syrup and baked apple flavors. The finish brings the acidity right up front.

Hafner 2006 Old Vienna Red Cuvée Trockenbeerenauslese Zweigelt (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Smooth, velvet texture seem to leave the freshness on one side. It’s delicious, like drinking a sweet soft drink but with real fruit and natural sugar. The botrytis is present on this unusual red TBA, but sweetness overwhelms everything.

Hafner 2003 Kashmir Red (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Rich and soft, this is a fine blended wine that shows layers of wood, ripe tannins, flavors of blackberry fruits and good balancing acidity. There is a delicious juiciness from the St Laurent, which is tightened by the other grapes in the blend.

Hafner 2002 Essencia Kosher Trockenbeerenauslese Riesling (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- Kosher
- $25
A sweet, toffee-flavored wine, the super-rich Riesling bringing some good acidity into the mix of intense concentration and ultra-sweet honey. The flavors are edging over the top—a little here goes a long way.
