Wine Description
Cherry-coloured, spicy, vigorous scent of sour cherries and pepper. A slight veil of vanilla. The ferrous reddish soil is traceable in the wine’s mineralic features. Soft tannines on the palate. A typical Zweigelt for many occasions.
Winery
Being a wine grower is both our vocation and our commitment. It is our calling to produce wines with character and sustainably; it is our commitment to future generations. The distinctive character is shaped by several factors and methods, and these are responsible for the uniqueness of our wines. This is significantly influenced by the wine-growing region of Wagram and its grape varieties; yet specifically characterised by biodynamics.
