Wenzl Kast
Wenzl Kast operates in Burgenland, Austria's easternmost wine region, where continental climate and sandy soils create conditions for dark-skinned varieties. The winery focuses on two signature wines: a Blaufränkisch and a Ried Ungerberg St. Laurent. Blaufränkisch, Austria's flagship red grape, thrives in Burgenland's warm growing season, developing structure and dark fruit character. St. Laurent, a temperamental variety with Pinot Noir ancestry, demands careful site selection; the Ried Ungerberg designation indicates a single vineyard of particular distinction. Both wines have been assessed by Falstaff, the influential Austrian wine critic. The winery's work with these regionally rooted varieties reflects Burgenland's identity as a source of serious, age-worthy reds.
