We are represented at the Salon Österreich Wein with the Buchegger Große Reserve 2017 – taking third place in the “Sekt Austria Große Reserve” category. Unfortunately, the 2017 vintage is no longer available for sale, but the 2019 vintage is a worthy successor in terms of quality and development – in the new Falstaff Wine Guide, for example, it was awarded 94/100 points and named the sixth-best sparkling wine in Austria.

Salon Österreich Wein
For more than 35 years, the Salon Österreich Wein has been the toughest wine competition in Austria. Once again this year, only the best wines from thousands of submissions made the cut. At the Salon, the only thing that counts is the quality of the wines, which is assessed in multi-stage blind tastings.
The sparkling Wine
For the fourth vintage of our Große Reserve Extra Brut, we were once again able to draw on excellent grape material from the great 2019 vintage. This time, we gave our sparkling wine 40 months for bottle fermentation, during which it was able to mature in absolute peace. It was disgorged in July 2024. The single-varietal Chardonnay sparkling wine has a spicy and fragrant nose of fresh meadow flowers and white apple fruit. On the palate, it is crisp with fresh acidity and fine fruit and spice.
