Altenburger Jois Cuvee Altenburger

The Jois Cuvée by Markus Altenburger combines Burgundian rigor with Pannonian warmth – a red wine that brings structure and accessibility in equal measure.

Markus Altenburger manages his vineyards around Jois on Lake Neusiedl, where the Pannonian climate allows for long ripening phases and complete fruit maturity. The cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Zweigelt shows how well international varieties can harmonize with the local Zweigelt grape.

In the glass, a deep purple red with garnet-colored edges. On the nose, dark cherry, blackberry, and a hint of cedar wood. Medium to full body on the palate, ripe tannins with pleasant structure, a light spice in the finish with hints of dark chocolate and bay leaf.

Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Goes well with braised beef, leg of lamb with rosemary, or aged mountain cheese.

The Winery

Markus Altenberger

Bernadette and Markus Altenburger grow Blaufränkisch and Chardonnay in Austria's Burgenland – and take as much time as the wines need. Their sparkling wine "230 Integral" spent 19 years on the lees before it left the cellar door. This is not a marketing trick, but a philosophy.

Stylistically, the white wines stand for limestone-influenced minerality and salty spice, the reds for the entire spectrum of Blaufränkisch – from easy-drinking to age-worthy. Those looking for mature vintages will find what they are looking for in the "Mature" section: wines that Altenburger deliberately held back until they were ready to drink.
