Wines from Burgenland
Feiler-Artinger 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Burgenland)
- $20
This Cabernet Sauvignon is rare for the Feilers. Normally the fruit goes into a blend. But in 2005, they have chosen to release a varietal Cabernet, a lean, somewhat austere wine, showing the aging potential, but also just showing some green character. Tough, with high acidity.

Johann Heinrich 2006 Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- $15
Classic spice and red fruits from this attractive, generous Blanfränkisch. Made to be drunk young, it is already soft, juicy and fruity, with great freshness from acidity.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2003 Selection St. Laurent (Burgenland)
- $20
Barrique aged wine, with toasty flavors, tobacco and blueberry, finished with smooth vanilla and morello cherries. There is an edge of acidity, maybe almost tartness which gives it a very vibrant aftertaste.

Umathum 2006 Zweigelt (Burgenland)
- $19
In the young, fresh, fruity style of Zweigelt, this is packed with juicy, peppery black cherry flavors, lightened with crisp acidity and lively tannins. It’s ready to drink now, no aging needed. Glass stopper.

Zantho 2006 Beerenauslese White (Burgenland)
- $19
A blend of Welschriesling and Scheurebe, this is a fresh and delicate wine that wears its sweetness easily. Some botrytis, some honey, but the acidity comes into play as does the pineapple flavor. Glass stopper.

Pittnauer 2006 Klassik Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)

- $19
Simple, fresh and fruity, with crisp tannins and definite acidity over some juicy, green fruit. Fresh and fruit-driven. Screwcap.

Schloss Halbturn 2006 Koenigsegg Velt. 1 Grüner Veltliner (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Fresh, crisp, citrus and floral flavors make a light, easy Grüner Veltliner, a great summer drink of light white fruits and green berries. Screwcap.

Hans Moser 2006 Vom Leithagebirge Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
The aromas are of new wood and spice. But the red cherry flavors of Blaufränkisch are enough to absorb this wood, giving a spicy but fruity wine that happily fills the glass with ripe fruit.
