Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2009 Blaufränkisch (Leithaberg)
- Editors' Choice
- $32
This is impressive and firmly tannic, showing mint and herb flavors, new wood toast and bitter black-cherry fruit. It’s complex, dense and age worthy.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2009 Luckenwald Zweigelt (Burgenland)
- $30
Wood aging has rounded out this wine’s tannins and integrated its fruity character into something complex. It’s big, rich and smooth, and with its tannins it will age several years.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2003 Vigor Rubens Red (Burgenland)
- Editors' Choice
- $29
This is the Nittnaus’ flagship red, a powerful, rounded wine, expressing soft Merlot, along with juicy Zweigelt and St. Laurent. There are delicious black plum, tobacco and spice aromas, while the black fruit flavors are spiked with sage, green herbs and black berries. Barrel aging adds complexity, but does not dominate.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2009 Ungerberg Plus Red (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
A blend of Zweigelt, Syrah and Blaufränkisch, this is rounded and ripe, with a dark plum flavor, rich tannins and a smooth texture. It’s solid and impressive, though not for aging. Screwcap.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2001 TBA White (Burgenland)
- $47
Flavors of dried plums and prunes as well as honey and dry botrytis gives this blend of Weissburgunder, Chardonnay and Neuburger a complex, balanced structure. It is not hugely sweet; instead it’s rich with an element of crispness to make it both attractive and very drinkable.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2000 Traminer White (Burgenland)
Harvested on December 24, 2000, this spicy wine has the classic eiswein freshness and acidity floating over the sweetness. There are aromas of fresh-cut flowers, flavors of fresh apricots, finishing with a touch of lychee.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2006 Edelgrund Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- $16
Hugely dry, tannic wine that is going to need several years aging. But the structure and balance are there, along with dark berry flavors, mixed with a firm, mineral character. This is powerful stuff.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2010 Edelgrund Blaufränkisch (Burgenland)
- $19
With its flavors of spice, dark fruit and a hint of herb, plus its touch of rusticity and tense acidity, this is classic Blaufränkisch. Its juicy berry flavors emerge through the tannic texture, revealing a final flavor that is elegant while also rich. Screwcap.
