Pittnauer 2005 Pannobile Red (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
The Pannobile style is a blend of local varieties, this one dominated by Zweigelt. It’s smooth and fruity, with soft tannins. There’s a rustic edge to the fruit that gives some complexity. At the end, it’s about the fresh berry acidity.

Pittnauer 2005 Alte Reben St. Laurent (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
True to its varietal character, this is earthy, on the rustic, farmyard side, but balanced with concentrated licorice and fresh black berries. There is a serious core of dusty tannins, but the other flavors dominate a wine that can be drunk now.

Pittnauer 2003 Klassik Zweigelt (Burgenland)
- $18
Stumbles out of the blocks, with burnt rubber scents that take a while to recede, but then delivers crunchy black cherry flavors. Bold fruit and a crisp finish separate this Zweigelt from the rest of the pack. Imported by Magellan Wine Imports.

Pittnauer 2006 Sankt Laurent St. Laurent (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
The Pittnauers make something of a specialty of the St Laurent grape, and their success is reflected in this vivid, fruity, juicy wine, an Austrian Beaujolais, all freshness and blackberry fruits topped with acidity. Screwcap.

Pittnauer 2005 Reserve Pinot Noir (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
Brambly wine, with hedgerow red fruits and bitter black cherries. It’s very floral, crisp, the tannins suggesting some aging potential. To finish, the acidity is fresh and lively.

Pittnauer 2004 Klassik Blaufränkisch (Neusiedlersee)
- $22
Seemingly picked really ripe, this Blaufränkisch marries the aromas and flavors of prunes, plums and black cherries with cedar and vanilla, then delivers them with fudge-like concentration and low acidity. Tannins are soft and supple, while the finish picks up a nice smoky note. Imported by Magellan Wine Imports.

Pittnauer 2003 Klassik Blaufränkisch (Neusiedlersee)
- $23
Starts with layered aromas of leather, spice and citrus, but doesn’t deliver quite the same complexity on the palate, where the flavors are more reminiscent of brandied cherries. The creamy mouthfeel leads into a long, softly caressing finish that shows just a hint of alcoholic warmth. Imported by Magellan Wine Imports.

Pittnauer 2005 Fuchsenfeld Pinot Noir (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Light, delicate, perfumed wine that floats strawberry fruit flavors over a licorice bitterness. It is floral, fresh, juicy and probably ready to drink now. Screwcap.
