The Scheiblhofer Big John Cuvée Reserve 2023, with an alcohol content of 14% by volume, comes in a 1.5-litre magnum bottle with a gift box. It is an opulent, powerful red wine cuvée from Burgenland and ranks among the most distinctive wines produced by Scheiblhofer. The cuvée is blended from Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir grapes and aged for 12 months in new American barriques, which gives it its intense, distinctive character.


The 2023 vintage is particularly dense and rich in extract, showcasing the typical ‘Big John’ style: powerful, structured and with an international flair. The combination of ripe grapes, American oak and the long ageing period results in a multi-layered, complex cuvée with impressive depth. Thanks to the slow development typical of magnums, the wine has ageing potential until 2035. Sealed with a natural cork, this reserve is ideal for special occasions, festive evenings and lovers of characterful, concentrated red wines. A wine that masterfully combines power, richness and a long-lasting presence.

Tasting Note

A deep violet colour with ruby-red edges. On the nose, intense fruitiness, subtle caramel notes and delicate toasty hints. On the palate, it is complex, multi-layered and powerful, underpinned by robust tannins and toasty oak notes. The finish is spicy, intense and long-lasting, with dark fruit and elegant depth.

Pairs superbly with red meat, game, rich sauces, braised beef, savoury mushroom dishes and Mediterranean meat dishes. The ideal serving temperature is 16 °C.

The Big John in a Magnum bottle is an ideal companion for festive occasions and elaborate multi-course meals, leaving a lasting impression.
