Sensory Description:

Vivid ruby in the glass, this natural red opens with bright aromas of red currant, sour cherry, and crushed raspberries. On the palate, it’s fruit-driven and ultra-light, with no discernible tannins and a silky, refreshing texture. Zesty acidity and delicate herbal nuances add lift and energy, making it perfect for easy sipping. Dry, clean, and playful, this wine “floats” across the tongue with a gentle grip and a cooling mineral edge on the finish.

Winemaker's Background:

Gober & Freinbichler is the collaborative project of friends Dominik Gober and Gerald Freinbichler, who met while working under the legendary Franz Weninger. After founding their winery in 2016 in Neckenmarkt, Central Burgenland, the duo began cultivating overlooked vineyard parcels with an eye toward elegance, purity, and low-intervention winemaking. Their estate has been certified organic since 2018, and their minimalist cellar practices focus on natural fermentations and site transparency. Their wines—especially Blaufränkisch—have drawn attention for their restrained, classical style and unbeatable value.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve well-chilled at 10–12°C in a universal or light red wine glass. Ideal with picnic fare, grilled vegetables, roast chicken, charcuterie, or Mediterranean mezze. A versatile choice for daytime sipping, rooftop dinners, or spontaneous gatherings with friends.

The 2024 Gober & Freinbichler ‘Chill’ is a naturally fermented, fruit-forward red that’s as easy to love as it is to drink. A pure, honest expression of Burgenland charm—crafted to be chilled, shared, and savored.
