Carnuntum<br />

delicate background of herbal spice. Concentrated, yet still<br />

elegant with delicate fruit sweetness very well balanced<br />

with soft oak nuances. This multifaceted accompaniment<br />

to food has a long finish and dependable potential for further<br />

development.<br />

Reserve 2015<br />

Dark ruby with purple highlights and a subtle transparent<br />

rim. Attractive blackberry jam, subtle sandalwood and tobacco<br />

nuances. Concentrated with delicate sweet extract<br />

and abundant tannin bedded in a finely woven texture. Nougat<br />

joins in on the tremendously long mineral finish. Very<br />

promising potential for the future.<br />

MICHAEL<br />

AUER<br />

Michael Auer took over responsibility<br />

for the winery from his grandfather in<br />

2008. Because the winery had focused<br />

primarily on the production and sale of wines<br />

by the barrel, there were naturally many things<br />

that he had to change, such as reducing yields<br />

and increasing manual labour in the vineyard.<br />

Making wines with heart and soul became his<br />

life’s calling. The young vintner is convinced<br />

that he has taken the right path. “It’s essential<br />

to keep an eye on the important things and not<br />

to forget the details. This attention is the key to<br />

balanced wine. It is the ABC of the vine, work<br />

that is never really complete, that will bring me<br />

great pleasure and fulfilment in life.”<br />
