Winery - Ernst Triebaumer
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Velvet and smooth black fruits are on the surface of this Bordeaux blend. But underneath this softness is a dense, concentrated tannic wine, with wood flavors, dry layers and the power to age for several years. While this may not be a Burgenland blend, it has some of the herbal, spice character of the reds from this region.

A huge, powered wine from the famed Mariental vineyard, smoothed by wood, but also packed with dark tannins, flavors of dark plums, bitter chocolate and blackberry fruits. The tannins—dry and firm—promise great aging potential. Keep this wine for 5 years and more. Glass stopper.

Bright, deep purple in color, this is a dry, firm wine, but one suffused with sweet black berries, fresh acidity and a gorgeous juicy texture. It has a definite mineral touch to go with the vivid fruits.

Aged for 8 months in large barrels, this wine relies on its simple, juicy fruit. It has red fruit flavors, soft, fresh and ripe.

Herbs, spices and dense, tannic fruit are balanced with elegant black fruits and layers of wood. It is solid, but overweight.

As smooth as a red wine can be. Eighteen months in barrels, of which 40% were new, have smoothed out any sharp edges. This is velvety inits texture, with its ripe fruit, sweet tannins and red berry fruit flavors.

Famed as a cult wine in Austria, this lives up to its billing. It is powerful but elegant, with juicy, herbal flavors, blackberries, damsons and a smooth, cocoa coating. But there is certainly structure here from the tannins. Like so many Triebaumer wines, this will age magnificently.

One of Austria’s iconic reds, Mariental comes from a single vineyard in the hills above Rust on the Neusiedlersee. It is finely perfumed, the perfumes following through to the rich but firm palate, which is elegant and dense in texture, with ripe blueberry and strawberry fruits founded on solid tannins. Age for several years.

Classic spicy Muscat flavors show on a dry wine, giving notes of spiced pears, baked apples, nutmeg and the crispest acidity. Think light and fresh Gewürztraminer, but with acidity, and you are not far off. Glass stopper.

As its name suggests, this is a wine which comes from shrivelled berries, full of concentrated sugar. Triebaumer specializes in these wines which areproduced in limited quantities. This one has layers of golden botrytis flavors; it’s intense and rich, and should be savored on its own.
