Burgenland's best
Fine red wines: Win a magnum from Gesellmann
Fancy a treat from Burgenland? We are giving away 3 x 1 magnum bottle of a fine wine from the Gesellmann winery - ideal for the holidays or as a gift for wine lovers.
The name Gesellmann is one of the most renowned in Austria and is known far beyond the country's borders when it comes to exceptional wines, especially in red. This is confirmed once again by the latest ratings from the country's most important wine guides.
Red wine visionaries
The foundation stone for this was laid by Albert's father, Engelbert Gesellmann, who died in 2021. As a red wine pioneer, he focused on Blaufränkisch and Cabernet Sauvignon early on and experimented with ageing in barrique barrels as early as the 1980s, creating a red wine legend with the Opus Eximium cuvée.
Son Albert has been impressively following in his father's footsteps since 1991. After training at the viticultural school in Eisenstadt, he gained international experience and completed three harvests this year: in South Africa in January, then in California and then in Deutschkreutz in November.
Origin and character
Today, Silvia and Albert Gesellmann cultivate 50 hectares in the best Deutschkreutz vineyards. "Harmony and finesse have the highest priority in the vinification of our wines, but at the same time they are always characterized by liveliness and a drinking flow," the winemaker couple describes their philosophy. This applies to both the white wines and the powerful reds, which are characterized by balanced fruit with Central Burgenland spice and a lively acid structure. And their enormous ageing potential.
Organic? Logical!
"Respect for nature is very important to us, because we don't want to leave scorched earth for future generations," say Silvia and Albert Gesellmann. They describe the conversion of their business to organic farming, which was completed with the 2015 vintage, as the "logical conclusion". Since then, all wines have carried the organic label.
The winery has received numerous top ratings in 2024. First and foremost the Cuvée G 2020, a Blaufränkisch-dominated icon that was awarded 98 points at the Falstaff Reserve Trophy and other top marks in the most important wine guides. Albert Gesellmann: "This wine is a tribute to its origins and our oldest vineyards."
Win a magnum bottle!
Whether for special occasions or everyday life: Gesellmann wines stand for quality, origin and character. We are giving away 3 x 1 magnum bottle of an exclusive wine from Weingut Gesellmann - perfect for the holidays or as an exclusive gift.
