This lineup unfolds as a journey across Central Europe, where rivers, hillsides, and centuries of winemaking tradition shape wines of striking individuality. From the Mosel, an auction-level Riesling Auslese glimmers with rare sweetness and precision, while Franconia answers with a Spätburgunder of quiet power and poise. Across the border in Austria, the Wachau offers Grüner Veltliner in its most classic, stony register, contrasted by the Burgenland’s avant-garde, where Christian Tschida reimagines pink wine with raw, textural energy. Hungary then closes the arc with two faces of intensity: Gere’s Kopár Cuvée, a bold, structured red from Villány, and the luminous gold of Tokaji Aszú, a wine of legend and light. Together, they form a portrait of Central Europe’s range, at once historic and forward-looking, grounded in place yet alive with reinvention.
