Walter Hahnenkamp
Walter Hahnenkamp produces wines from Neusiedlersee, Austria's largest wine region, where the shallow lake moderates continental climate and enables ripening of both traditional Austrian varieties and international grapes. The winery's portfolio centers on Zweigelt, the country's signature red, alongside Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Troica, a blend of Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz, and the single-varietal Hochberg Classic Zweigelt represent the winery's core offerings, both rated 88.8 by Falstaff. The Ried Hochberg Reserve Syrah, rated 88.6, demonstrates the winery's engagement with Rhône varieties in a region known for structured, age-worthy reds. Neusiedlersee's terroir—sandy and loamy soils warmed by the lake's thermal mass—suits the ripeness and concentration these wines display.
