BURGENLAND
|
WEINGUT RENNER |
More than two thirds of his vineyards are planted with red vines, which are Helmut Renner's great passion; although Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch are dominating, he also produces excellent wines of such sensitive grapes like Syrah and Pinot Noir.
With the 2000 vintage, Helmut Renner started to make wines from St. Laurent and Zweigelt from Altenberg. Merlot wines will be offered as of 2001.
Renner-News: Also new in the range of products is a 99 Ausbruch wine, a blend of Chardonnay, Weissburgunder and Müller-Thurgau. Some bottles of a 20 year-old Trockenbeerenauslese (1981) will be up for sale starting in October.

THE SELECTION
Syrah 2002
Here is a great find from the Burgenland region of Austria. 100% Syrah, this medium-bodied red is impeccably made, showing a great purity of Syrah fruit, as well as intense, clear notes of white pepper. Soft enough to drink during the cocktail hour, this beautiful Austrian red, because of that tremendous purity of fruit, would also pair well with a wide variety of foods.
