Special Edition | 92 points falstaff
May we present? The BF+ZW Cuvée ’23 – created especially and exclusively for the Salzburg Festival 2025.
It is a tribute to the grand stage and to the art of perfect balance. Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt – two characterful varieties, the classic and the young rebel – united in a wine that effortlessly combines depth with elegance and reflects its home on the western shores of Lake Neusiedl. A wine with poise – modest in tone, expressive in detail. Composed for special occasions and memorable evenings. From Rust with Love.
