This is a light-bodied earthy red, with hues of ruby garnet and a tinge of purple. The nose greets you with notes of blackberry, forest floor and a sprig of garden herbs. On the palate are flavors of marionberry, raspberry, black tea, and cherry. The finish drifts away gently with a light essence of tomato leaf. Its old-world rusticity makes this wine ever-so-charming and easy-drinking. Great with a burger, grilled trout, or kale salad. 13% ABV.
The red wine grapes for this Zweigelt come from vineyards around the Gottweiger Berg in the south Kremstal. Vineyards are mostly located on warm gravel soils with a strong loess soil. Particularly the influence of the warm Pannonian climate from the east and the microclimate of the Danube valley have a positive effect on the ripening of the grapes.
Vinication: The grapes for this Zweigelt were harvested in mid-October. In the cellar the grape material was destemmed and subjected to classic mash fermentation. After a few days the fermented wine could be pressed. After the controlled malolactic fermentation in steel tanks, the wine was drawn into large wooden barrels. This Zweigelt matured for 12 months in wooden barrels before being bottled.
