Kast
Kast produces red wines from Burgenland, Austria's premier wine region in the east. The winery works with the native Blaufränkisch alongside international varieties—Pinot Noir, Zweigelt, and Cabernet Sauvignon—crafting blends that reflect the region's continental climate and mineral-rich soils. Blaufränkisch Lange Ohn, a single-varietal expression, demonstrates the grape's characteristic structure and dark fruit character. Am See Rot and Cassio Dio are multi-varietal reds that layer complexity through careful blending. Falstaff has assessed the portfolio, rating these wines in the high 80s. Burgenland's warm days and cool nights create conditions suited to full-bodied reds with balanced acidity, and Kast's selections exemplify this terroir-driven approach.
