Gesellmann Opus Eximium No. 35 2022 14.5% ABV 0.75l online kaufen

The Gesellmann Opus Eximium No. 35 2022 is a masterful Austrian red wine cuvée from Burgenland, bearing the hallmark of the long-established Gesellmann winery. For over three decades, the ‘Opus Eximium’ has been recomposed year on year, with each vintage reflecting the unique characteristics of that particular year. The 2022 cuvée consists of 60% Blaufränkisch, 30% Zweigelt and 10% St. Laurent – three grape varieties typical of the Carnuntum region and Burgenland, which are vinified to the highest standard here.


The grapes come from vines aged between 30 and 70 years, which develop their characteristic intensity as they are deeply rooted in mineral-rich soils. The hand-harvest began at the end of September with the St. Laurent, followed by the Zweigelt, and concluded at the start of October with the Blaufränkisch. Each grape variety was vinified separately. Following spontaneous fermentation and traditional maceration in steel tanks, malolactic fermentation took place in oak barrels. The wine then matured for 24 months in small oak barrels before being blended as a cuvée and aged for a further 2 months in a large wooden cask. It will finally be bottled in June 2025. With an alcohol content of 14.5% vol., it is powerful, complex and yet elegant – a wine with great ageing potential.

Tasting Note

On the nose, intense aromas of blackcurrant jam, delicate exotic wood spice and subtle herbal notes unfold. On the palate, it is juicy and fresh, with elegant red berry fruit, refined acidity and well-integrated tannins. The finish is spicy, harmonious and impressively long.
