Zweigelt

The grapes come from Frauenkirchen and the surrounding area, from 19- to 46-year-old vines planted on quartz- and iron-rich gravel over pebbles and sand; the topsoil is light, permeable, warm and dry. They were hand-harvested and optically sorted in September 2022. The wine fermented on the skins for two weeks, followed by malolactic fermentation in oak casks. It matured for two winters without filtration in old oak casks. It shows a dark ruby colour, cherry and sour cherry, peppery spice, mild acidity, gentle tannins and a full-bodied, rounded palate.
