The following tasting notes are written by Marco Kalkbrenner, Jutta Ambrositsch's husband and are possibly the most precise (and funny) notes you'll ever read.

From Marco: Rotburger, Sankt Laurent, Blauburger, Merlot and a few white vines, probably planted unintentionally, who knows, Vienna 30 years ago, early 80’s, wild times in a city that was not so wild at the time, at least on the surface. Back to the wine: forest soil and fruits…fermented gooseberries, a few scattered cranberries and a somewhat too inflated dark pink air mattress by the pond. Please shake before drinking, bottled with fine yeast directly from the tank.
Undoubtedly the most uncompromisingly vinified Rakete that has ever existed. Somehow, it’s like a little stuntman running passionately up the notorious Hirnbrechergasse (literally: Brain Breaker Alley) of the Kahlenbergerdorf district after too long a night and too little sleep, without giving a second thought to the many plasters dotting his delicate body. What do rusty strawberries taste like? Like this. What does cold iron smell like? Like this. Then, after just a few sips, you are transported into the hurtling carriage of a funfair ride. The bumper car tokens jingle in the inside pocket of your wildly flapping denim jacket; the tiny tartrate crystals (yes, in the name of absolute authenticity, we have foregone any form of tartaric stabilisation) and the swirling lees trickle happily from the heavens like purple confetti as 30 Seconds to Mars blast their hit “Closer to the Edge”. These 30 seconds are exactly how long the Rakete 2018 needs to rest after swirling. Then it has arrived – and is free to focus fully on firing up the engines of its well-disposed drinkers.
