The estate was formed in 1979 where vines are planted in the most relevant parameters of microclimate, soil-type & growing season that best provide for each variety. This Blaufränkisch is an easy, light and ripe wine that was "built" in the vineyard & has little to do with the cellar work.

Staff Pick Notes

Weingut Rosi Schuster is the epitome of the kind of winery we champion here at Astor: small, family-run producer, organically farmed vineyards, minimal intervention winemaking. Rosi's son, Hannes, has been at the helm since 2007, and continues his mother's ethos of making wines expressive of the terroir. Fermented with native yeasts, the wine is then aged in used 500 liter barrels before being bottled in summer. The result is a fresh, vibrant wine with dark fruit (blueberries, blackberries), black pepper, and earthy tannins. This is a great wine for when you fire up the grill or when you feel the need for sauerbraten (and who doesn't?).

These are often ageworthy wines, and they're some of the best things coming out of Austria these days.

Austria

Austrian wine is finally getting the attention it deserves.
