- Good but bit pricey
The wine shop guy recommended this and it's decent but I'm not sure it's worth £31. It's clean and balanced sure, but for that money I want something that really wows me. Would maybe try it again on sale.

- Interesting stuff
I'm still learning about wine but this felt like a step up from what I usually drink. The acidity gives it a nice freshness and it pairs well with basically anything — we had it with pizza one night and steak the next. Bit of a splurge at £30 but worth trying.

- Not really for me
I know people love Preisinger but this didn't click for me. It's well made and all that but at 14% I expected more punch and it felt a bit restrained? Maybe I need to try it again with food. At £30 I'd probably pick something else.

- Really impressed with this
Bought this for a dinner party and it was a hit. Really smooth for 14% — you don't feel the alcohol at all which is dangerous honestly. The nose is gorgeous, kind of pulls you in. Would definitely buy again at £30.

- Birthday treat that delivered
Wife got me this for my birthday and wow. You can tell there's real thought behind it — the flavours sort of unfold the longer you sit with it. Clean finish that doesn't disappear straight away. 14% but drinks lighter than that.

- Solid natural wine
Had this with some grilled lamb and it worked perfectly. Nice acidity that cuts through richer food. It's not a showstopper but it's well made and interesting. Fair price for what you get from Preisinger.

- Nice weekend bottle
Picked this up after seeing it on a wine list at a restaurant. Smells amazing straight out the bottle — really inviting. Fruit is ripe but not jammy which I appreciate. Had it with pasta and cheese, no complaints.

- My new favourite Austrian red
Been getting into Austrian wines lately and this is exactly why. So much complexity once you give it a few minutes in the glass. The finish just hangs around in the best way. Claus Preisinger is doing brilliant stuff.
