Gunter Triebaumer 2005 Ruster Ausbruch Welschriesling (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $37
The Rust style of ultra-sweet wine is all about wonderful honey and toffee flavors over intense acidity, a great balancing act of spice, dry botrytis and great sweetness. This wine is both fresh and complex, a bottle that needs at least 5 years to age. Screwcap.

Gunter Triebaumer 2008 Weite Welt Red (Burgenland)
- Cellar Selection
- $38
This top-of-the-range red, the Bordeaux blend from Günter Triebaumer, is a rich, spicy wine, the black berry fruits pushing through the dense texture and the wood. It’s an impressive wine that needs aging for a full five years.

Gunter Triebaumer 2007 Weite Welt Red (Burgenland)
- Cellar Selection
- $39
The wine’s name means “wide world” and, with its base of Bordeaux grapes, this is Triebaumer looking outside Austria. It is big, dark in color, piled high with black berry fruits and somewhat severe tannins. The structure is big, solid, very direct, but bringing in a strong wood element. Worth aging for 3–4 years.

Gunter Triebaumer 2006 Ruster Ausbruch Welschriesling (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
A great mouthful of rich sweetness, toffee rounding an already velvet texture. The wine, with its liquid honey and mango flavors, feels full-bodied. If balancing acidity is less apparent, it does show in the fresh, lifted finish. Screwcap.

Gunter Triebaumer 2005 Reserve Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $37
This is serious Blaufränkisch, a ripe, firmly structured wine that shows a dry edge of solid tannins before you get to the ripe, red fruits. There’s power here, but it is finely integrated, and its fruity finish is well structured. Screwcap.

Gunter Triebaumer 2006 Weite Welt Red (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $37
A blend of international grapes—Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Merlot (hence its name, Wide World)—this is a big, rich wine. The fruit ripeness balances with the prominent toasty wood flavors, giving a style that is smooth and polished. Black fruits dominate, the fruit tannins melding well with the wood. It’s worth aging, though, over 3–4 years. Screwcap.

Gunter Triebaumer 2008 Ruster Ausbruch Welschriesling (Burgenland)
- $40
Very honeyed, liquorous wine, with a full texture, orange marmalade flavor and acidity contrasting with a sweet toffee character. It has weight and richness, with possible long-term aging. Screwcap.

Gunter Triebaumer 2007 Reserve Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- $39
As generous with its wood as its fruit, this is a wine in development. The elements are all there—the mineral structure, dark fruits and firm tannins. But at this stage, fruit is dominated by wood. Give it another 2–3 years. Screwcap.
