Schloss Halbturn 2004 Grand Vin White (Burgenland)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $70
A true TBA, its very rich, toffee-flavored, intense sweetness overpowering the botrytis dryness initially. And then you feel the acidity, the apricot and peach flavors and the shot of lime. In its texture, it is a truly intense dessert wine. Age for 10 years.

Schloss Halbturn 2005 Impérial Red (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
An impressive, rich wine, the ripe tannins and dark, dense black fruits all giving a feeling of opulence. This has power and solidity, and looks set to age well. Schloss Halbturn was once a summer home of the Austrian imperial family, hence the name of the wine.

Schloss Halbturn 2004 Ried Jungenberg Jois Chardonnay (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $60
An impressive, rich, creamy, oak-aged Chardonnay that has already developed secondary flavors of almonds and pine nuts. The balance, though, is well preserved; a full, flavorful wine edged with toast and finishing with the fruit acidity. It could well develop over the next 2–3 years.

Schloss Halbturn 2005 Pinot Noir (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $75
Very Burgundian in its textures, with aromas of bitter cherries, wood, sweet fruit and perfume. It has a good plump feel in the mouth with red fruits and intense acidity. Age for 4-5 years.

Schloss Halbturn 2005 Impérial Sauvignon Blanc-Chardonnay (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
A balanced blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay gives a rich wine, with mineral, pear and layered wood flavors. There is some herbaceousness, but the wood and creamy Chardonnay give broadness and richness.

Schloss Halbturn 2004 Koenigsegg Reserve Red (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
Black berries, spice and black plums are the dominant flavors of this blend of Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and Cabernet Sauvignon. Austerity and minerality layer within the dry firm fruits. The wood shows well, a foil for the freshness, acidity and dry tannins. Screwcap.
