This blend of Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot seems well suited to the Thermenregion, south of Vienna. This is a rich, perfumed wine, with juicy berry fruits and spice. There is a balanced wood element, giving richness and extra roundness. Age for 3–4 years.

Smooth, velvet-textured wine, packed with red plum juice and dusty tannins hanging in the rich folds. A rich wine, finishing with finely judged acidity. Screwcap.

Dried fruits, berries, hedgerow blackberries and firm dry tannins all contribute to this densely tannic wine, dark hued and smoky. The acidity shoots through the whole wine, making it excellent with rich foods. Screwcap.

Fresh, juicy and fruity with a light tannic structure, this is pure blackberry juice, with just some of that cranberry tannin and dryness, finished with licorice. Ready to drink.

Caramel and soft berry fruits characterize this pleasant and fresh wine. It has flavors of red berries along with vanilla to round it out. Easy Pinot, drink now.

This hard, stony-textured wine will be tough to warm up to for some, while rock-heads will extol its minerally virtues. Hints of lime and green plum keep it from being too austere, while it finishes cool and long.

Soft fruit that shows velvet tannins and a full, ripe red berry character. There are milk chocolate and bitter cherry flavors and very fresh acidity, all comfortably integrated, just finishing with an edge of pepper.

A reasonably dry, full-bodied style of Riesling, Fischer’s 2005 shows bold aromas of lemon and quince, then rounds them out with a bit of apple on the palate. Crisp; a good partner for seafood.
