Something the likes of which not even veteran Burgenland veterans see every decade is Feiler-Artinger's 2006 Blaufrankisch Beerenauslese. This nobly sweet wine really is red, thanks to a percentage of non-botrytized berries and to several days of maceration. To be honest, admits Kurt Feiler, this wine was motivated by something approaching necessity - as the grapes were shriveling before his eyes - but the result is serendipitous, like a black raspberry liqueur laced with black pepper brown spices. While its sweetness is rather syrupy right now, it is admirably pure and long, and I don't doubt can find some suitably unorthodox employment over the next several years. Feiler-Artinger's dry whites have generally not especially impressed me, but that is changing.Importer: Winemonger, Los Angeles, CA; www.winemonger.com
