CREATOR PORTRAIT:

Katrina Bajoras is both art and muse—an interdisciplinary connection between consciousness and the subconscious. Her work is not confined to a single art form; she chooses where the surrealist pen will go each day.

This time, Katrina Bajoras' hands have created a painting and exclusive packaging for the natural biodynamic wine of Andreas Ziniel. Her unique design and symbols evoke one of the five senses—taste—and its power to transport the taster to the most pleasant places, surrendering to the magic of the present.

This subtly hints at the pleasure that can be tasted.

PORTRAIT OF THE WINEMAKER:

Located at the lowest point of Austria, near Lake Zicksee, Andreas Ziniel—one of Austria’s new-generation natural wine virtuosos—is creating fresh traditions in the Burgenland region. Having taken over the family winemaking business, he is committed to organic and biodynamic principles, with minimal intervention in the cellar. Surrounded by renowned producers like Meinklang, Heinrich, and Tschida, his vineyards thrive despite the hot, dry climate. Thanks to Andreas' careful approach, they produce elegant and subtle natural wines. His style is both hedonistic and effortless, reflecting his own character as a winemaker.

TASTE PROPERTIES:

The palette is dominated by grapefruit, cranberry and creamy aromas. The palette is characterized by subtle acidity and citrus notes.

FOOD PAIRING:

Pairs well with antipasti, tuna dishes, cured meats or salads.

Serve cold (10-12 C).
