Wine Transformed Into Art: Meinklang Sarah Lucas

April 9th, 1917, almost 102 years ago, Marcel Duchamp forced the art world to rethink the nature of art. Duchamp presented an upside-down urinal signed and dated with the signature “R. Mutt, 1917,” and titled Fountain. Today Sarah Lucas, an English art star, has transformed a bottle of Austrian winemaker Meinklang's Pinot Noir, asking questions about the nature of wine and its relationship to art. The piece Mienklang Sarah Lucas, part of her Au Naturel show, is a bottle of Meinklang Pinot Noir with the letters S-A-R-A-H L-U-C-A-S cut out of cardboard and attached to the bottle with wire. And how did one of England's most recognized contemporary artists find interest with a cult Austrian natural wine?

Dank der klaren Fokusierung der Winzer des Alpenlands auf aromatische trockene Weißweine und eleganten Rotweinen übertrifft der Erfolg der österreichischen Weine in vielen Exportmärkten die Ihres großen Nachbaren Deutschland. Unsere Liste der besten Weine Österreichs in 2018 bestätigt auf beeindruckende Weise diese zwei Stärken.

Helder, diep kersenrood met paarse rand. Een Bio-wijn volgens het etiket maar waarschijnlijk ook een wijn weinig filtratie gezien het depot in de fles. Een echte bek met wijn. Daar hou ik van. Volle geur van roodpaars zomerfruit als kersen, bramen, bosbessen en framboos. De neus raakt verstopt van al dat mooie zomerfruit. Naast het fruit is er tegelijkertijd een lichte en prettige aardse ondertoon die de wijn wat extra ruggengraat geeft. De wijn is vol en heeft een heerlijke, zachte en lange afdronk. in de afdronk ook wat mineraliteit en kalksteen.

Die mineraliteit moet ik even uitleggen. Toen wij klein waren daagden wij elkaar uit om bij vriesweer aan de brugleuning te likken. Stom natuurlijk maar je bent jong en... De bedoeling was natuurlijk dat je vast bleef zitten met je tong. Maar met enige slimmigheid lukte het wel. Die smaak na afloop in je mond. IJzer en beetje roestig. Ja de bruggen in Rotterdam waren vroeger van gietijzer. Die smaak proef ik in sommige wijnen nog. Zoals bij deze zweigelt. Ik had de wijn flink doorgekoeld. De wijn krijgt van mij 90/100 punten en heeft 13,0% alc. Prima wijn bij het avondeten in de tuin. De wijn moet je jong drinken.

Blaufränkisch Uncorked: Bull’s Blood – A legacy

This month’s foray into the history of various wine styles takes journalist Samuel Squire to Hungary, where he learns about the legend of Egri Bikavér wine, which is commonly made with a grape called Blaufränkisch, although it has been known by many different names. He looks at the history of both the style of Egri Bikavér, the grape Blaufränkisch, and where it’s situated in Australia today.

GUNDLACH BUNDSCHU GEWÜRZTRAMINER IN TWO BOTTLES: DECANTING DRAMA

You’re never too old to play with your food. Media and José treated us to a feast a few months ago that called for Mexican oregano. The leftover stems looked hearty, so Dottie, who has been growing herbs for years, rooted it and now we cook with it, too. Its citrusy pungency is nothing like the Italian oregano we grew up with so it’s fun to experiment by adding it to different dishes to taste what happens.

Caroline Gilby MW on Hárslevelű – Tokaj’s ‘forgotten’ second grape

Often neglected because of Furmint, its more famous parent, Hárslevelű is due its ‘time in the sun’, argues Hungarian wine world expert Caroline Gilby MW. Hárslevelű is blended into acidic Furmint to build the mid-palate, making the wine longer and deeper, but curiously the other way round and just a small percentage of Furmint will overwhelm Hárslevelű’s unique varietal character. Tokaj’s high percentage of women winemakers are also playing a strong part in building back Hárslevelű’s reputation and are responsible for many of the grape’s most exciting interpretations.

I'm a musicologist, but I've never written a description such as: “This symphony has beginning suggestions of Mistral, the grind of Arctic glaciers and yak burps, moving gradually to cast-iron clothes wringer, antique gas pump, page turn, and Uzbeki traffic, and arriving at a climax of Brighamia insignis branch crack."

THE 2021 AUSTRIA VINTAGE REPORT

AUSTRIA 2021: EXTRAORDINARY BALANCE
The 2021 vintage in Austria is outstanding, blending ripe fruit, good extract, and crisp acidity. As Michael Moosbrugger from Schloss Gobelsburg said,

This is an astonishing vintage. I have been doing this for more than 25 years and this is a vintage I have not seen before, with such a balance between sugar and acid.

A cold winter and spring followed by summer with adequate rainfall were followed by a long, dry, and picture-perfect harvest period. Growers didn’t need to rush the harvest but could wait for the perfect time to pick.

Inspired by Natural Wine’s Success, Many Austrian Winemakers Are Taking a Lighter Touch

Millions of years ago, the Danube found its way from its source in Germany to the Black Sea and became one of the most vital rivers in Europe. In modern-day Austria, the waterway’s steep banks created ideal conditions for winegrowing. This verdant river valley is the heart of Lower Austria, or Niederösterreich, the region that built the reputation of Austrian wine in the United States.

Austria’s Eruption Winemakers ‘Generate Energy’ In Steiermark

A group of nine family winemakers in Austria’s Vulkanland Steiermark have organized themselves for the future, based on ancient soil and modern skills. The Eruption winemakers, as they call themselves, demonstrate that, while they produce wines of variety, they are also consistent in terms of quality and authenticity. The name Eruption (as it is in Vulkanland) is tied to the 40+ volcanoes that once defined the region. The winemakers here attribute this particular soil to a mineral expression in the mouth.
