The vines grow at various vineyard sites around Lake Zurich, including the Gold Coast with heavy clay soils, which according to Turmgut provide sufficient vigour. The blend of Merlot and various Cabernet varieties is, according to GaultMillau, matured exclusively in new, heavily toasted barriques. The style is consequently powerful, with pronounced roasted and spicy notes; the Cabernet components provide structure and tannin, while Merlot contributes dark fruit and richness. Turmgut ferments its red wines spontaneously with the natural yeast population.
