Scheiblhofer The Great Bustard 2022 14.5% ABV 0.75l

The Scheiblhofer Winery is a family-run business and cultivates around 104 hectares of vineyards, making it one of the largest in Burgenland. All the grapes are processed on the estate and marketed in bottles. The village of Andau, where the winery is situated, is one of the areas with the most hours of sunshine and, thanks to its mineral-rich gravelly soil, offers ideal conditions for full-bodied wines.

The winery is not only well known for its Prädikat wines, but also for its top red wines, such as the outstanding ‘Big John’. Johann Scheiblhofer has won more than 300 gold medals at national wine competitions, making him the most decorated winemaker in the country.

Scheiblhofer The Great Bustard is a powerful yet elegant cuvée made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zweigelt, combining the best characteristics of these grape varieties. This dry red wine is vinified with the utmost precision and aged for 12 months in new American barriques. Following barrel ageing, the wine is bottled and sealed with a high-quality natural cork to preserve its longevity and aromatic intensity.

With an impressive drinking window from 2024 to 2034, this red wine develops fascinatingly over the years.
