Straka, which means Magpie, is a small family estate located in the Eisenberg district of Burgenland, Austria, and has been run by Tom Straka since 2008. Located on the last foothill of the Alps, in Rechnitz, his primary focus is Welschriesling, the main indigenous grape of the area. The vines grow on crystalline slate around Rechnitz and the grapes are carefully harvested by hand. Tangy, spicy and with great grip and focus, Thomas Straka conjures up a great orange wine. The lively and multi-layered Stratos Mash is bottled unfiltered and unadulterated, just like all of Straka’s other wines.
