Gerhard Pittnauer is undoubtedly one of the stars of the Austrian winemaking scene, producing a host of powerful reds which showcase the quality of Austria’s indigenous grape varieties.
His ‘Velvet’ is a form of introduction to Austrian reds. This blend of Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch exceeds expectations with a finesse reminiscent of fine Burgundy. The balance of these varietals creates a smooth, refined palate, while NV Velvet embodies Pittnauer’s dedication to expressing Burgenland’s terroir. Showcasing a seamless integration of flavours, it reflects a minimal-intervention approach that lets the grapes shine, resulting in a wine that is both elegant and expressive.
