Winery - Nittnaus Anita und Hans
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dense, with rustic aromas, a little barnyard. The fruit is smooth in texture, touched by new wood and 14 months barrique aging. The tannins need time to settle down, with acidity shooting through the fruit.

The Pannobile name is used by a group of producers in Gols on the north-east corner of Neusiedl to describe Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch blends. This version of the style is rich and soft, with a dense texture, touches of spice, flavors of black cherries, finishing with crisp, young acidity.

A fresh, fruity wine, full of wild strawberry flavors, with cranberry tannins. The acidity is full on, but the ripe tannins edging through give structure and the promise of 2–3 years aging.

The warm Burgenland climate has produced a Sauvignon Blanc that goes for the yellow fruits and richness. But there is also a good, crisp lemon streak that brightens the whole wine. For drinking this summer. Screwcap.

While it is certainly fresh, the wine has a broad character, showing ripe white fruits alongside bright white currants. There is a fine depth to the fruit and the balancing acidity. Screwcap.

Soft and open, smooth and creamy. Creamed apple flavors dominate, certainly fresh but also rounded. There is a pear skin texture to keep the wine taut and crisp. Screwcap.

This is a serious and impressive wine. The tannins are dark and concentrated, with firm black fig, damson and berry fruits, balanced with acidity. It is powerful, with all the best qualities of Blaufränkisch on view. Age for 1–2 years.

Dark berries dominate here, but there is also an intriguing edge of tight spiced minerality. With its strong acidity and important tannins, this is always going to be a wine with an austere side. But the weight is all there, as is the final black berry fruit.

This may be simple Zweigelt, but it has a great structure, bringing out an impressively complex juice and tannin combination, with a ripe sweet character, black berry fruits and a core of tight, mineral tannins. The finish is open, warm and juicy.

If you want power and concentration, look no further. But what is also good about this wine is the velvet texture of ripe berry and cherry fruits, with the tannins fitting round like a tight glove. It is obviously going to age well—over 4–5 years and more.
