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 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 2006 Vom Heideboden Zweigelt (Burgenland)
- $16
A firmly tannic wine, solid and concentrated, which shows great spicy Zweigelt varietal flavor, as well as dense black cherries and toast. This is a wine that needs some aging, maybe over 3 years.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2003 Nit’ana Red (Burgenland)
- $24
An open, generous, ripe wine, with fresh red plum fruit flavors, layered with acidity. The barrique aging is still apparent, leaving high toast. Despite the addition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, this still tastes very Austrian and spicy, the Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch dominating.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2004 Nit’ana Red (Burgenland)
- $24
This is Hans Nittnaus’s international wine, with Cab Sauvignon and Merlot in the blend along with St. Laurent and Zweigelt. It offers complex flavors, mixing black fruits with smooth toast from barrique aging. There’s a vegetal edge to it, which detracts from the overall impression.

Nittnaus Hans und Christine 2004 Zweigelt von den Hügeln (Burgenland)
- $20
Pleasing, fresh fruit flavors of dark berries, plum skins and black figs. The spice of the fruit dominates this lively, juicy wine. Great barbecue wine.
— R.V.
