The Wild Boys of Club Batonnage BATONNAGE 2022 1.5 litre is a legendary Austrian cult wine that combines power, vision and uncompromising individuality. Born from an idea during a hedonistic tasting night in 2001, Batonnage still stands for the conscious shaking up of the wine world today. Behind this extraordinary project are five formative personalities of Austrian viticulture: Markus Altenburger, Florian Gayer, Gerhard Kracher, Erich Scheiblhofer and Christian Tschida.


The name Batonnage is derived from the oenological term for the stirring of yeast in barriques and symbolises a wine with unprecedented intensity and expressiveness. The cuvée is based on Blaufränkisch and Cabernet Sauvignon from the Leithaberg in Jois as well as Merlot from a top vineyard in Andau. Only strictly selected, highly ripe grapes are processed. The wine is matured for 2 × 12 months in new French barriques, resulting in a monumental red wine with enormous density, structure and depth. Each vintage is limited to a maximum of 12 barriques, making Batonnage one of the rarest and most sought-after wines in Austria. The magnum bottle (1.5 litres) additionally supports the harmonious maturity of this exceptional wine.
