The Salzl Syrah Reserve 2021 is an impressive, high-quality Austrian red wine that interprets the international Syrah grape variety in a style that is both powerful and exceptionally harmonious. Produced at the renowned Salzl winery in Burgenland, this wine reflects the estate’s consistent commitment to quality as well as the unique conditions of its terroir. The vines are rooted in sandy soil, which ensures good drainage and imparts a distinct fruit character and subtle mineral tension to the grapes.


This single-varietal Syrah is vinified traditionally, with fermentation on the skins in steel tanks at 30 °C, a maceration period of 14 days, followed by malolactic fermentation, which imparts depth, structure and balance to the wine. The wine is aged for 12 months in small oak barrels made from 100 per cent new wood, which imparts additional complexity, density and elegant toasted aromas to this dry red wine. With an alcohol content of 14.5 per cent, the Salzl Syrah Reserve 2021 is powerful and concentrated, yet consistently balanced and harmonious. Its generous drinking window from 2025 to 2035 underlines the high Lager and development potential of this characterful red wine from Austria. Bottled in 0.75 l bottles, this reserve stands for depth, precision and long-lasting expressiveness.
