Since 2019, we have been adding another wine to our collection: Together with the Gesellmann winery from Austria, we have created the Cuvée Prestige 2019 in celebration of our 50th anniversary – a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with an unique character.

Journeys from the Past
For many years, host Angelika Falkner, hotel manager Michael Waschl and maître Martin Sperdin have been enthusiastically searching for exquisite wines and insider tips. The team has travelled to national and international winegrowers to see where the wine grows, how it is cultivated and what philosophy the individual winegrowers follow. These experiences are essential to understanding wine in all its depth and making the best selection for Hotel Das Central.
