Puszta Libre 2023

A new-age classic for a reason! "Gekühlt Servieren" on the label translates to "Serve Chilled", and that's exactly what you should do with this bottle. A juicy, fruity, easy-drinking red best served straight out of the fridge (and usually followed by another bottle). Slam dunk.

From the Burgenland, Austria, this is organically farmed Zweigelt and St. Laurent from the Puszta — this is what the free wide land in Hungarian is called — the Pannonian lowlands. In Claus’ words, it’s “A free wine from a free area. My homage to good Beaujolais.”

A portion of the wine underwent a five-day carbonic fermentation, in a similar way to how leading Beaujolais natural wine producers work. It fermented naturally, and was aged in steel tanks for just six months to preserve freshness. No sulphur added.
