Meet our New Rosé by the glass: Weingut Soellner 'Dani' from Austria's Wagram Region

The Soellner family — biodynamic winemakers in the Wagram region and makers of our newest glasspour.

We've Got a Rosé on the List That We're Pretty Excited About

If you've been watching our wine program (over the last decade+), you know we don't put things on the glass pour list just to fill space. When we pour something by the glass, it's because we'd drink it ourselves. Right now, that glass is the Weingut Soellner 'Dani' Rosé from Austria's Wagram region.

It's on for the next few weeks…

Who Are the Soellners?

The Soellner family — Toni, Daniela, and the extended crew at Weingut Soellner — are the people who put the Danube Valley's Wagram region on the contemporary wine map. That's not hyperbole. Since 1997, they've farmed their land according to organic, Demeter, and biodynamic standards, meaning no synthetic substances, no pesticides absorbed through vine leaves, and a full commitment to working with nature rather than against it.

Their philosophy, in their own words: to work and live with nature. The wines reflect that. Clean, precise, alive.

What's in the Glass

The 'Dani' Rosé is named for Daniela and made entirely from Zweigelt — Austria's most widely planted red grape. Their Zweigelt vines grow on a mix of sand, clay, and loess soils in the cool microclimate of Gösing. The fruit is hand-harvested, fermented slowly and naturally, and aged entirely in chilled stainless steel tanks. No heavy sulfur additions. No shortcuts.

What you get is a rosé that tastes like the idea of a rosé: crisp, dry, and genuinely refreshing. There are notes of tart raspberry and red currant, a thread of fresh herbs, and a signature peppery finish that makes you reach for another sip before you've even registered what just happened.

It's mineral-forward in the best way — the kind of wine that makes food taste better and conversation easier.

Why We Love It for Stoneburner

We build our wine list around producers who are doing things with intention, and the Soellner’s fit the bill. Biodynamic farming isn't a marketing term for them — it's a 28-year practice. The fact that the wine is also just objectively delicious and goes perfect with our menu doesn't hurt either.

This is exactly the kind of glass-pour wine we love: approachable without being simple and interesting without being fussy.

Come Try It

The Soellner 'Dani' Rosé is available by the glass for the next few weeks, while it lasts. Come in, order one, and tell us what you think. We'll be here.
