Gesellmann 2007 Hochberc Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- Cellar Selection
- $31
Tobacco and wood aromas open into a beautiful, perfumed wine. The cherry and loganberry fruits are rounded with cocoa, mint and vanilla from wood. This is an impressively structured wine. Age for 2–3 years.

Gesellmann 2007 Bela Rex Red (Burgenland)
- $30
A complex wine that showcases the straight lines of Cabernet Sauvignon, with smoother fruit from Merlot. Smoke and tobacco aromas are welcoming. The palate is held together by polished wood flavors, with black currants. An impressive wine for aging.

Gesellmann 2004 Op Eximium Cuvée 17 Red (Burgenland)
- Editors' Choice
- $34
Dominated by Blaufränkisch, with St. Laurent and Zweigelt, Op (or Opus) Eximium was first made in 1988 (hence cuvée 17 for the 2004).

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.

Gesellmann 2007 Op Eximium Cuvée 20 Red (Burgenland)
- $18
A wine that pairs with Gesellmann’s Bela Rex Bordeaux blend. In Op (short for Opus) Eximium, Austrian grapes provide a delicious spice confection of wild fruits, expertly blended into an intense dark berry- and vanilla-flavored wine. The acidity gives a final earthy boost.

Gesellmann 2006 Siglos Pinot Noir (Burgenland)
- $20
Juicy red fruits, strawberry jelly and smooth wood give this wine a sophisticated, elegant character. The acidity and red cherries pierce through the tannins, giving extra freshness, but also adding to the rich, intense flavors.

Gesellmann 2004 Beerenauslese Scheurebe (Mittelburgenland)
The fruit and the richness are all Austrian, with the weight of the Scheurebe giving both richness and power to the wine.

Gesellmann 2007 Creitzer Reserve Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)

Typical mineral notes shine through this impressive wine. It has plenty of acidity, berry fruits and vivid acidity, the whole structure held together by dark tannins.
