Moric, founded by Roland Velich in 2001, is one of Austria's most celebrated red wine producers. Velich revolutionized Austrian viticulture by proving that Blaufränkisch from Burgenland could yield world-class, terroir-driven red wines comparable to Northern Rhône Syrah or Grand Cru Burgundy. The "Hausmarke" series represents Velich's experimental, low-intervention line. "Solera 23" utilizes a multi-vintage solera system, blending multiple harvests up through 2023, to achieve a non-vintage wine that combines youthful, crunchy fruit with mature, fractional complexity.

Composed primarily of Blaufränkisch blended with Zweigelt and Pinot Noir, Moric Hausmarke Rot "Solera 23" is fermented spontaneously with native yeasts and aged in large neutral oak casks. By blending young and old wines from limestone and slate soils, Velich crafts a red of striking elegance, marked by sour cherry, white pepper, dried herbs, and a savory, mineral-driven undercurrent.
