Description
“It’s 20-odd years since Gerhard and Brigitte Pittnauer took over the winery in Gols near Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland, bordering Hungary at the eastern edge of Austria. Over that time they’ve pushed the boundaries of Austrian red winemaking, in particular with St Laurent and Zweigelt. But then there’s the Blaufränkisch and – have you ever tried Burgenland Pinot Noir? You must. In 2001 the construction of the fittingly striking production hall in the middle of the vineyards allowed for a quantum jump in quality and quantity. Pittnauer’s wines are elegant, structured, complex and beautifully drinkable – qualities that were highlighted when Gerhard was named 2014 Winemaker of the Year by Falstaff magazine. This, the highest accolade in Austrian wine, shows just how far the Pittnauers have come. It also goes some way to showing what a fiercely gifted individual we have on our hands. But then everything -from the Pitti blend, through the vivid addition-free wines and right up to the devastatingly good single vineyards – will pretty much tell you the same thing.” Notes by Importer Patrick Walsh of Cellarhand
New 2020 is here and it’s on song! We love this fine Austrian Rose!
92 points, Jane Parkinson for Halliday Wine Companion “Making the most of its native varieties, this Zweigelt, Saint Laurent and (mostly) Blaufränkisch blend is pressed as whole bunches, then left to age for months in stainless steel. With a bright and cherry aroma of wild strawberries and a hint of rose, it has a crunchy and lively palate, mingled with peaches and lychees rather than soft red fruits.”
