Rennersistas – Gewurz 2025
Gewurztraminer & Grauburgunder
Austria, Burgenland, Gols
Gewurz 2025 is an Austrian Burgenland orange wine, glowing, hazy copper-amber in the glass, unfiltered and true to its skin-contact style.
The nose leads with an immediate pop of bright floral energy, rose petals covered with morning dew, lychee, and juicy blood orange, before plunging into wilder botanical territory. The 75% whole-bunch fermentation asserts itself with crunchy notes of white pepper, dried rooibos, and resinous, citrusy pine needles, riding on a savoury, mineral pulse.
Here is where the precision of the picking moment really shows. Gewürztraminer and Grauburgunder naturally tend towards low acidity, high sugar and resulting high alcohol, which can make them flabby in hot years. But 2025 was defined by unusually cool, wet summer conditions, keeping the fruit fresh. Harvesting early in September captured that cool-vintage energy, resulting in a driving, high-toned acidity that carries the moderate 12% alcohol with effortless drinkability.
Spontaneous fermentation with native yeast and three days of skin contact leave behind a fine, tea-like phenolic grip that coats the palate, while 10 months resting on the lees in old oak and clay amphora softens the edges, adding a broad mid-palate weight. The finish is bone-dry, savoury, and distinctly saline — a natural wine built on structure as much as aromatics.
A high-wire act balancing exotic aromatics with stemmy crunch and chalky minerality. Equal parts glou-glou energy and serious skin-contact texture.
Food Pairings
Because this wine bridges the gap between wild, lifted aromatics and serious, tea-like grip, it is incredibly versatile on the table. The high acidity and stemmy crunch cut through richness, while the floral notes complement complex spices.
- Fermented & Slow-Cooked Classics: The savory, botanical pulse of this wine makes it an absolute dream for rich, fermented dishes. It cuts effortlessly through the rich, sour-savory profile of slow-cooked traditional Sarma, or a deeply flavored choucroute garnie.
- The Bold Cheese Board: The wine’s tea-like phenolic grip and distinctly saline finish call for rich, hard cheeses. Pair it with an aged Dutch cheese like an old Gouda or Remeker—the salt crystals in the cheese will beautifully echo the wine’s chalky minerality.
- Aromatic & Spicy Heat: Gewürztraminer is famous for handling spice, and this cuvée’s cool-vintage acidity makes it even better. Pour it alongside fiery Sichuan noodles, Thai green curry, or anything with heavy ginger and lemongrass.
- Casual Wood-Fired Crunch: For a more relaxed evening, this wine shines next to a white-sauce wood-fired pizza topped with fennel sausage and wild herbs. The pine needle and white pepper notes in the glass perfectly elevate the herbaceous toppings on the slice.
