Wines from Burgenland
Höpler 2006 Zweigelt (Burgenland)

A rich, vividly red and juicy wine, with a fine balance between the acidity and the bright berry fruits. The whole is then underlined by a sweet, raspberry jam character, ripe and easy.

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.

Michlits 2007 Meinklang Konkret St. Laurent (Burgenland)

A soft, rich wine, with some fresh fruit, but also a sweet strawberry jelly consistency. The wine has a tight edge of dryness, with dried fruits and spice. Mostly, it is big, brash and fruity.

Umathum 2008 Zweigelt (Burgenland)
- $25
This is an intensely earthy wine, with aromas of fallen leaves and mushrooms. The red berry fruits are all part of this same character, the acidity a piercing cut at the end. Glass stopper.

Ernst Triebaumer 2008 Ried Greiner Gelber Muskateller (Burgenland)
Classic spicy Muscat flavors show on a dry wine, giving notes of spiced pears, baked apples, nutmeg and the crispest acidity. Think light and fresh Gewürztraminer, but with acidity, and you are not far off. Glass stopper.
