The Hannes Reeh Heideboden Cuvée Red 2021 is a powerful yet elegantly structured Austrian red wine from Burgenland, which impressively reflects the unique terroir of the Heideboden in the Seewinkel. The cuvée is composed of 60% Zweigelt, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot – a combination that blends regional character with an international flair. The vines grow on a gravelly soil with a sandy component, which ensures excellent drainage and minerality. Thanks to the warm Pannonian climate with cool nights, the grapes develop intense aromas and a precise structure.


The grapes are harvested by hand before undergoing spontaneous fermentation, which lends the cuvée its natural authenticity. Following a maceration period of around four weeks, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and, in part, in barriques, giving it freshness as well as depth and complexity. Sealed with a screw cap, it retains its aromatic purity and drinking pleasure for years to come. It has ageing potential until 2033, which underlines its exceptional substance and stability.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Hannes Reeh Heideboden Cuvée Rot 2021 displays a dark ruby red colour with violet highlights. On the nose, aromas of dark, ripe berries dominate, accompanied by subtle notes of plum, cherry and spicy hints. The Zweigelt grape variety in particular stands out clearly and defines the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, harmonious and supported by velvety tannins. The texture is dense and balanced, whilst the finish is elegant, fruit-driven and long-lasting.
