The IRO Cabernet Franc Heideboden 2024 is a red wine with a distinctive character from the Neusiedlersee wine-growing region in Burgenland, which is renowned for its complex, full-bodied red wines. The Heideboden, a geologically diverse plain between Lake Neusiedl and the Parndorf Plateau, offers ideal conditions for the Cabernet Franc grape variety thanks to its warm, sandy to loamy soils. The IRO family harnesses this potential with precision and finesse, bottling the 2024 vintage as an elegant, multi-layered yet taut wine that authentically reflects the terroir of this region.

The wine is matured using traditional methods, with a focus on achieving a balanced interplay of fruit, structure and freshness. The result is a wine with a modern flair and regional character; at 13.5% ABV, it is pleasantly full-bodied whilst remaining consistently elegant and inviting to drink. Its deep colour, complex aromas and precise interplay of fruit and acidity make this Cabernet Franc an expressive example of its grape variety – ideal for discerning wine lovers who value clear provenance, varietal typicity and drinkability.
