Mittelburgenland

Mittelburgenland is a DAC (Districtus Austriae Controllatus) subregion located in central Burgenland in eastern Austria, characterized by its rolling hills, warm Pannonian climate, and iron-rich clay soils. The area is known as 'Blaufränkischland' due to its focus on the Blaufränkisch grape variety, which produces spicy, structured red wines with distinctive dark fruit flavors and firm tannins. Mittelburgenland DAC wines must contain at least 85% Blaufränkisch and are classified into Classic and Reserve styles depending on oak aging and alcohol content.

Gober & Freinbichler + Franz Weninger

Red

This collaborative project brings together some of Austria's most exciting wine talents to showcase the potential of Blaufränkisch, the country's signature red grape. Vineyard Project 004 represents a modern, minimal-intervention approach to this traditional variety. Franz Weninger is renowned for his work with Blaufränkisch on both sides of the Austrian-Hungarian border, while Gober & Freinbichler bring their innovative perspective to the blend. The result is a wine that balances the grape's natural spicy character and bright acidity with pure fruit expression. It's the perfect bottle for curious wine lovers looking to explore beyond the usual suspects – offering the structure and complexity of Pinot Noir with a distinctive Central European personality all its own.
