Based in Gols, Burgenland, their winery has long embraced biodynamic farming and minimal intervention to express the authenticity of their soils. What\u2019s in the bottle?A pure Zweigelt fermented with native yeasts and aged 6 months in wooden vats. No fining or filtration. What to expect?Bright, juicy, with red cherry and light spice. This is like a Loire Valley Cabernet Franc but with a softer, silkier edge. Expert take:Grown on loam and gravel near Lake Neusiedl, this Zweigelt balances ripeness with freshness. The lack of oak dominance keeps it lively and food-friendly \u2014 perfect for chillable reds. Pair it with: Grilled sausages, ratatouille, or pizza night under the stars. Moric Blaufr\u00e4nkisch Burgenland 2022 [Buy via Dec\u00e1ntalo] Who makes it?Roland Velich is the mind behind Moric, a reference name for Blaufr\u00e4nkisch. He believes in expressing micro-terroirs with minimal manipulation and great precision. What\u2019s in the bottle?100% Blaufr\u00e4nkisch from old vines in Burgenland. Native yeasts, concrete and wooden fermentation, with aging in barrels and foudre. What to expect?Juicy and elegant. Dark cherry, graphite, and a peppery lift. Think of a refined Beaujolais Morgon, but with more tension. Expert take:The limestone and slate soils bring structure and minerality, while careful extraction enhances purity. A textbook example of how Austrian reds can be both graceful and serious. Pair it with: Roast duck, lentil salad, or even grilled tuna.

What\u2019s in the bottle?Grapes grown biodynamically, fermented spontaneously, aged in oak barrels, and bottled without fining or filtration. What to expect?Dark fruit, spice, and a cool herbal backbone. Like a northern Rh\u00f4ne Syrah without the weight. Expert take:Soils rich in limestone and schist provide a mineral spine. The lake\u2019s proximity adds gentle warmth that ripens the tannins beautifully, while the unfiltered style keeps the wine vibrant. Pair it with: Grilled mushrooms, lamb skewers, or aged cheese. Claus Preisinger Kalkestein Blaufr\u00e4nkisch 2023 [Buy via Dec\u00e1ntalo] Who makes it?Claus Preisinger is one of Austria\u2019s most dynamic winemakers.

What to expect?Sour cherry, violet, and smoky minerality. Like a C\u00f4te de Beaune red with a wild soul.
