Region: Austria 

Variety: Zweigelt || Blaufränkisch

What's in the glass: Atanasius is a captivating blend of Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch, two quintessential Burgenland reds that harmonize beautifully. Hand-harvested grapes are destemmed before fermentation in seasoned 500- and 1200-litre barrels, with the juice spending three weeks on the skins. Elevage unfolds over 12 months in the same barrels without batonnage, and the wine is bottled unfined, unfiltered, with zero added sulphur.

On the nose, it bursts with vibrant red fruits, delicate florals, and subtle hints of smouldering earth and smoke. The palate reveals a lively crunch and a distinct minerality that’s both refreshing and invigorating. With purity, tension, and the elegance of a timeless Old World wine, Atanasius is a striking natural wine that showcases the brilliance of one of Austria’s rising stars.
