The Salzl Syrah Reserve 2022 14 % is a powerful Austrian red wine made from 100 % Syrah, characterised by concentrated fruit, consistent oak ageing and remarkable ageing potential. The vines grow on sandy soil, whilst vinification involves traditional maceration in stainless-steel tanks at 30 °C. The wine is left on the skins for 14 days, after which it undergoes malolactic fermentation. To add further structure and complexity, the Salzl Syrah Reserve is aged for 12 months in small oak barrels, using exclusively 100 per cent new oak. The 2022 vintage was bottled in August 2025.


In the 0.75 l bottle, the Salzl Syrah Reserve 2022 presents itself as a full-bodied reserve red wine, whose intense character is underpinned by a fine tannin structure, fresh minerality and harmoniously integrated oak. Despite its power, this 100 per cent Syrah remains balanced and approachable, whilst the long barrel ageing imparts additional depth and structure. With optimal storage, the wine is expected to reach its peak between 2026 and 2036, making it suitable for both immediate enjoyment and longer ageing. A characterful Syrah Reserve from Austria for lovers of full-bodied red wines matured in new oak.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Salzl Syrah Reserve 2022 presents itself as a deep, dark ruby-garnet with an almost opaque centre and a delicate violet tinge at the rim. On the nose, ripe dark cherries, juniper and black olives unfold, accompanied by a savoury hint of roast beef. On the palate, it is concentrated and juicy, offering dried plums, black cherries, blackberries and chocolate, complemented by fine tannins, herbal spice and fresh minerality. The finish is exceptionally long-lasting, combining nougat and liquorice with harmoniously integrated toasted notes to create a fruity, spicy finale.

Acidity: 5.1 g/l

Residual sugar: 1.8 g/l

The Salzl Syrah Reserve should be enjoyed at a serving temperature of 16–18 °C. This powerful Syrah pairs particularly well with braised game, hare and beef served with rich, dark sauces. The wine also has sufficient structure and spice to complement a slow-cooked roast beef or game ragout. When served in larger glasses and allowed to breathe a little, the complex character of this Syrah, matured in new oak barrels, unfolds particularly well.
