Wagram

A Cabernet Sauvignon dominated Red Blend

 

This is the bottle that started it all. This wine (2002 vintage) was the impetus to retirement from Corporate America and the start of serving our community one bottle at a time at

The Wine Cabinet!

“The poised, clean and lifted wild black-cherry fruit mixed with notions of cocoa forms the aromatic theme. A very elegant wine, with medium body and alluring depth, it’s currently tight and held firmly by structured, ripe tannins, while the acidity is bright and refreshing. With its youthful primary fruit, this is charming.”  A.K.

Our Thoughts on this wine.....

 

"Radiant ruby in color, Cocoa, spice, racy berries and cherry aromas on burst from your glass. Striking and robust fruit dominates the mid-palate initially, giving way to red and dark cherry tones, some spice and dark berries and very nice structure on the lengthy finish.

A great integration of old and new world styles."

 

 

A Bit about Tony (Anton).....

 

Anton Bauer, born in 1971, represents the 4th generation to manage the now 25-hectare winery. After his graduation from the School of Wine and Fruit Growing in Krems, Lower Austria, and a training in Burgundy he worked for more than four years as an oenologist with a renowned Lower Austrian winery. Since 1992, when he took over the winery from his parents, at this time 3,2-hectare, he has been uncompromisingly pursuing his ideas of quality, paying great attention to underlining the typically regional features and the terroir character of the wines that make them incomparable and unique.

 

 

About the Wagram....

 

Wagram (formerly Donauland) is a viticultural region on the banks of the Danube River in Niederosterreich, north-eastern Austria. The growing conditions are ideal for the country's iconic Gruner Veltliner, which produces rich and full-bodied white wines with a characteristic creamy texture. The region stretches 30 miles (48km) from Krems in the west along to Klosterneuburg on the outskirts of Vienna. Vineyards on the northern side of the river lie on the flat Wagram plateau, and on the southern side of the river they can be found clustered around the hilly landscape of Klosterneuburg.

 

Like many other Austrian wine regions, Wagram's terroir is affected by its distinctly continental climate. Warm breezes coming from the warm Pannonian Plain to the east are tempered by cool Alpine influences from the north. Warm and dry days followed by much cooler nights help to preserve the vital flavor profiles of the grapes.The Wagram plateau is bordered on its northern side by a ridge 65ft (20m) high that runs parallel to the Danube for around 15 miles (25km). This is an ancient shore of the river, and Wagram's name comes from the word Wogenrain, meaning shore.Soils in Wagram are more or less uniform across the entire region, with a deep and dominant layer of loess – a point of pride for local vignerons. This loess has good water-storage capacities and there is little need for irrigation during the dry growing season.
