Weninger 2009 Alte Reben Blaufränkisch (Mittelburgenland)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
A wood-aged wine, this is fully ripe and has aging potential. From old vines, the wine has a dense texture, concentrated black fruits and tannins that combine in a dark, brooding structure. This is a wine for long-term aging; the new wood and forward fruits both promise that. Keep for six years.

Weninger 2006 Veratina Cuvée Blaufränkisch (Mittelburgenland)
A selection from Weninger’s Hochäcker vineyard gives classic Blaufränksich earthiness, with firm tannins tamed by bursting cherry and damson juice flavors. The wine has power, concentration, impressive weight.

Gesellmann 2005 Sämling Eiswein Scheurebe (Mittelburgenland)
Although Albert Gesellmann is better known for his reds, he certainly knows how to make this dessert style of wine. This eiswein is pierced through with citrus acidity shining through the intense honeyed sweetness and syrupy texture. Should age well.

Hans Igler 2007 Biiri Reserve Blaufränkisch (Mittelburgenland)
- Cellar Selection
- $34
Biiri is the old name for vineyards in Deutschkreuz, the home of the Igler winery. This is a smooth, mint-perfumed wine, shot through with wood, but also bringing some solid red fruits to the fore. It is weighty, but not overpowering. For the wood to fully integrate, give it another year.

Weninger 2009 Hochäcker Blaufränkisch (Mittelburgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Plenty of spice, leather and tar aromas, followed by a juicy palate that is edged with dark, dusty, very dry tannins. It is finely balanced, the acidity showing attractive freshness, with a long, fruity aftertaste.

Johann Heinrich 2010 Goldberg Blaufränkisch (Mittelburgenland)
This wood-laden effort is polished and initially herbal. Beneath the wood, there is the weight of black fruit, spice and dark tannins. The result is a wine that’s full and dense, powered by structure as well as acidity, and needing to age for several years. Screwcap.

Kirnbauer 2009 Goldberg Reserve Blaufränkisch (Mittelburgenland)
- Cellar Selection
This is the top wine from Kirnbauer, produced from vines in the Mittelburgenland region—one of the best areas for Blaufränkisch. This serious, wood-aged and complex wine has both intense bitter-cherry acidity and a firm, dense and tannic texture that shows aging potential.

Hans Igler 2005 Vulcano Red (Mittelburgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Adding Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt gives an intense wine that explodes with black fruits and intense, dark tannins. It is maybe less of a bomb than 2004, but that means it is more sophisticated, ripe but elegant, and finely structured.
