An overt style, the candied nose showing red fruits, raspberries, roses and a touch of gingerbread. Sweet and medium-bodied on the palate, this has refreshing acidity and velvety tannins that turn dustier in the savory finish. Try from 2026.

2019 Vintage Tasted: Sep 2022

Fragrant and loaded with finesse, this has aromas of red berry, iris, leather and forest floor. The youthfully austere palate offers sour cherry, cranberry and licorice alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it vibrant and balanced. Best 2027–2034. Kerin O’Keefe

2017 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2020

Bright, brilliant ruby red. An inviting nose of plum fruit, some sweet cherry and blackberry, accompanied by cedar and fragrant-floral notes. On the palate, it's polished with a precise, ripe fruit core, exciting and salty on the finish.

2017 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2020

Enticing aromas of violet and iris mingle with forest berry and crushed herb in this sleek, savory red. Smooth and elegantly structured, the bright palate shows juicy red cherry, blood orange and star anise alongside taut, polished tannins. It's already enjoyable but also has a youthful vibrance that will carry it for several years or more. Drink through 2027. Kerin O’Keefe

2013 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2017

Delikater Duft, der sich nicht entscheiden mag und auch nicht muss. Schwarze Johannisbeere, Rosmarin und Himbeeren um mal ein paar brillante Aromen zu nennen. Am Gaumen ebenso fruchtbetont wie mit karstigen Gerbstoffen bestückt. Perfekt zu Schmorgerichten und deftigen Vesper-Nachmittagen. Axel Biesler, Ursula Haslauer, Ulrich Sautter, Peter Moser

2012 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2016

Made from Nebbiolo grapes that macerate for 15 days and age for around a year in oak barrels. The wine has a medium, ruby-garnet color and a bouquet with nicely expressed scents of red rose and blueberry. The mouthfeel is not that rich with tannins that are a tad green but not biting while the finish plays on the acidity. In recent years, this wine appears to have obtained spontaneity and vitality, perhaps due to changes in extractions and wood. I would drink it now or certainly over the next 5-10 years.
