Austria

A great example of how well some wines do with a bit of bottle conditioning, this 2019 is open, bright, and nuanced thanks to just a couple years of age. Opening with notes of black plums, soft clay, and fresh herbs, the palate is energetic with the same dark fruit, and secondary savory elements, and a brisk, lightly-tannic finish.

Austrian reds typically have a balance of acidity, tannin, and fruit weight similar to something like Beaujolais, and pairing with similar fare is a great idea. Enjoy with anything that comes off the grill, particularly pork, roast chicken, or a hearty roast cauliflower with chili butter.
