Hochberc is one of the notable wines from Weingut Gesellmann, originating from a single vineyard site of the same name in the Mittelburgenland region. It is a red wine primarily based on Blaufränkisch, occasionally complemented by other varieties depending on the vintage, but always focused on expressing the character of the site.

The Hochberc vineyard benefits from warm exposures and clay-rich soils, which contribute to the wine’s structure and depth. Aromatically, it shows notes of dark fruits such as blackberry and black cherry, supported by subtle spicy and earthy nuances that evolve with aging.

On the palate, the wine is structured and firm, with well-integrated tannins and a balanced interplay between freshness and richness. Aging in oak barrels adds further complexity, introducing hints of vanilla, smoke, and light toasted notes.

Hochberc has good aging potential, developing more layered and tertiary characteristics over time. It pairs well with red meats, game, and dishes with richer sauces, where its structure can fully stand out.

Overall, it reflects the classic Mittelburgenland style - focused, structured, and closely tied to its origin.
