The IRO Special Blend 2024 is a powerful, modern interpretation of a cuvée from the Burgenland Heideboden, which perfectly reflects the signature of IRO. The 2024 vintage impresses with its intense fruit, fine flavour and lively freshness - a red wine that is both strong in character and accessible. The carefully selected grape varieties that come together in this cuvée draw on the diversity of the heathland and benefit from the warm location in combination with mineral soils. The result is a wine with depth, juicy body and great drinking pleasure.

With an alcohol content of 13.5% vol., the IRO Special Blend is harmonious and balanced. The wine is matured partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in wood, ensuring an optimal balance of fruit and flavour. This red wine cuvée is already accessible at a young age, but also offers the structure and substance to develop further with a little ageing. An ideal wine for anyone who appreciates fruity, elegant yet complex red wines with Austrian character.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the IRO Special Blend 2024 is a deep ruby red colour with violet reflections. The nose reveals an inviting bouquet of dark forest berries and fresh herbs, finely underpinned with a subtle woody spice. Juicy and lively on the palate with a delicate, well-integrated tannin structure. The dominant black berry fruit is accompanied by fresh acidity, which gives the wine dynamism and lightness. The finish is round, animating and already very drinkable.

The IRO Special Blend 2024 is a versatile food companion. It goes perfectly with grilled meat, Mediterranean stews, savoury pasta variations or a classic snack with spicy mountain cheese and air-dried ham. Thanks to its freshness and structure, it is also ideal for convivial evenings, barbecues or as a high-quality everyday wine with sophistication. A red wine that is uncomplicated but not arbitrary - modern, regional and with character.
