Vintage 2024

Our Furore cuvée reserve comes from Ried Hutweide in Teesdorf. In Lower Austria the 2024 harvest started at the beginning of September; we gave these grapes until the 18th. The summer before had been long and hot, and across Austria the heat left the berries small and short of juice.

Furore is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. This vintage runs to 2.000 litres.
