EACH WINE HAS A CHARACTER
article of 19.06.2024
CAPRICORN
December 22nd - January 20th
Safety & security
Capricorns are incredibly reliable and so conscientious that it is often difficult for them to allow themselves a break. But they do not strive for the sake of fame, honor, or power. The most important thing for them is a sense of security.
WINE MATCH: Flor de Pingus from the Ribera del Duero region. A taste experience year after year that reveals its constancy and absolute reliability.
AQUARIUS
January 21st - February 19thÂ
Expect the unexpected
Aquarians are freedom-loving and full of ideas. Because they are enthusiastic about the unusual and bizarre, they also like to provoke and challenge their counterparts — just for a friendly verbal duel.
WINE MATCH: Jacques Selosse Brut Initial Blanc de Blancs. A biodynamic champagne without additives. Matured over recent years into a superstar of the Champagne region.
PISCES
February 20th - March 20th
Dreamy soulsÂ
Pisces are gentle and caring. Good friends, a loving family, and their own partner are the most important things. They often live in the clouds, are very imaginative and like to enchant others with their dreams.
WINE MATCH: Rosé Elefant im Porzellanladen by Pia Strehn. The main goal for the Strehn family is producing the best rosés in the country.
ARIESÂ
March 21st - April 20thÂ
Adventure calls
Aries are strong, confident, and purposeful. They need movement and excitement like they need the air to breathe. They are particularly ambitious when it comes to sports - and like to charge ahead to be the first to reach the summit.
WINE MATCH: Sauvignon Blanc Zieregg from Tement Winery. Always top notch, a wine for every occasion.
TAURUS
April 21st - May 20thÂ
Comfort food
Nothing upsets Taurus that quickly. They are extremely reliable — and a bit conservative. But that doesn’t mean at all that they don’t know how to enjoy life. Preferably over a good meal with close friends.
WINE MATCH: Cuvée Steinzeiler from the Kollwentz Family. It’s always a classic in the Austrian cuvée scene. This international sensation is extremely long-lived.
GEMINI
May 21st - June 21st
Social butterfly
The open-minded Gemini needs people around them. They are cheerful and social through each round. However, to keep the mood good, they need a lot of variety. Dancing is more their thing than sitting still.
WINE MATCH: GrĂĽner Veltliner Federspiel Treu by Weinhofmeisterei. Suitable in every situation and appreciated by every palate. Good for picnicking, an afternoon on the terrace, or a cozy dinner.
CANCER
June 22nd - July 22nd
Sensitive feelers
The caretakers among the zodiac. They are helpful, sensitive and concerned about the well-being of others. When things are too much, they retreat quickly.
WINE MATCH: Pinot Noir, the devil among the varieties. Probably the most difficult grape to grow. With the right care and touch, Pinot Noir always delivers big flavor.
LEO
July 23rd - August 23rd
Center stageÂ
Lions cause a sensation wherever they go. They love the spotlight and enjoy basking in attention. They often make big careers thanks to their determination. Above all, we’re drawn to them for their positive, generous nature.
WINE MATCH: Château Cheval Blanc. A consistent winner. Year after year, this Bordelais winery makes top wines with a high proportion of the Cabernet Franc grape.
VIRGO
August 24th - September 23rdÂ
Tough love
Typical Virgos are efficient, critical, and demanding. Because they love learning new things, how others can rest on their laurels is a mystery to them. They strive to get the best out of themselves and those around them.
WINE MATCH: A Wachau wine from the vintage 2010. First ill-reputed, now loved by everyone. Due to a low wine yield, it’s a sought-after vintage on the list.
LIBRA
September 24th - October 23rd
100% harmony
Libras are the charming diplomats of the zodiac. They explore all perspectives before making judgments. They do their best to meet all demands — and to make those around them feel truly valued.
WINE MATCH: The Chardonnay Pössnitzberg from the Erwin Sabathi Winery is always well-balanced and suitable for any situation — mature or young.
SCORPIO
October 24th - November 22nd
The mystery
Scorpios like to appear aloof. It’s not easy getting through their impenetrable outer shell. If you do win them over, they are faithful and loyal. They keep secrets better than anyone.
WINE MATCH: Malvazija grape from the Roxanich Winery in Croatia, one of the pioneers of orange wine. This wine is worth discussing in illustrious circles. A wine experience as in the days of Christ.
SAGITTARIUS
November 23rd - December 21stÂ
Game for everything
Sagittarius is direct and honest which means they often rub people the wrong way. On the other hand, you always know where you stand with them. They are curious and open to anything spontaneous. Fun factor guaranteed.
WINE MATCH: Grüner Veltliner Barrel 4 Bernhard Ott Winery. The #1 wine in the Arlberg region. It’s one everyone knows and appreciates. From the 0.75l bottle to the 6 liters size, year after year this wine brings joy. Rarely can you drink just one bottle.
