Ernst Triebaumer Blaufränkisch Mariental 2018 Magnum, 1,50 L

Ernst Triebaumer revolutionised Austrian red wine with the Blaufränkisch Mariental 1986. Now, the 2022 vintage continues this legacy seamlessly—earning 98 Falstaff points and claiming the title of the best red wine of the year—a true icon.

The legendary Mariental vineyard in Rust boasts barren, calcareous soils on an east-facing slope, where vines up to 70 years old flourish. Lake Neusiedl plays a vital role, its reflective waters amplifying the morning sun’s warmth, creating an ideal microclimate for this intensely expressive Blaufränkisch. Careful, mindful winemaking transforms this potential into wines of unparalleled depth and longevity.

A poet in a glass—elegantly composed, yet powerfully structured with a sinewy, muscular grace.
