Das Phantom 2021

Some feats seem timeless.

Nothing is as constant as change: DAS PHANTOM has been the flagship of our winery for 36 years. Its quality remains constant, yet every vintage brings something new. Since 1987, this distinctive wine has brought together four grape varieties – Blaufränkisch, Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah – in a complex composition shaped by berry fruit and delicate roasted aromas.

During the Pentecost weekend in May 2023, we presented the new vintage of our classic under the slogan “Some feats seem timeless”: DAS PHANTOM 2021. Its defining characteristic is a complex and intriguing nose of forest berries, black olive, rosemary spice and cool mint, complemented by subtle notes of cedar.

Despite its dark aromatic character on the nose and a hint of cappuccino on the palate, the wine is remarkably refined, juicy and fresh, leading into a spicy mint finish. But it is not only the wine itself that has achieved iconic status. Its campaign has become a story of its own, reimagined every year and brought to life in an elaborate photoshoot. In 2023, once again working with the creative agency kratkys.net, we chose the Winter Circus in Vienna’s Prater as the setting. Capturing the story of each vintage in one compelling image is our PHANTOMastic challenge every year.
