The Gesellmann Blaufränkisch Creitzer Reserve Mittelburgenland DAC 2022 14% vol. 0.75 l is a red wine full of character from the heart of Mittelburgenland, a region that is appreciated worldwide for its powerful and elegant Blaufränkisch wines. The Gesellmann winery has been one of the flagships of Austrian viticulture for generations and stands for the highest quality, craftsmanship and loyalty to the terroir.


The vines from which this wine is made are between 20 and 66 years old and produce small-berried, highly concentrated grapes. They are carefully harvested by hand between the beginning and middle of October. The traditional mash fermentation takes place spontaneously in steel tanks, with the mash cap being submerged 2 to 4 times a day to achieve maximum colour and aroma yield. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation in oak barrels and then matures for 20 months in used small oak barrels, which gives it additional structure, finesse and depth. Bottling took place in October 2024. With optimal storage, this wine is ready to drink until at least 2034 and is therefore also ideal for collectors.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Gesellmann Blaufränkisch Creitzer Reserve 2022 presents itself in a deep dark ruby red colour with violet reflections. Intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries and fine spicy notes unfold on the nose, accompanied by a delicate, mineral freshness. It is powerful on the palate, with a strong structure, ripe tannins and perfectly integrated acidity. The long, complex finish is characterised by dark berry fruit and spicy elegance.

Acidity: 6.7 g/l

This Blaufränkisch from Mittelburgenland is an ideal accompaniment to strong dishes. It is an excellent accompaniment to grilled beef, rack of lamb, game dishes and braised meat, but also harmonises well with mushroom dishes or mature hard cheese. With its structure and elegance, it is a perfect wine for both festive occasions and special moments of enjoyment. Served at 16-18 °C, it unfolds its full potential and ideally expresses the depth of the Mittelburgenland terroir.
