2022 ZWEIGELT

Description

100% Handpicked
Grapes origin from Zweigelt vineyards in Furth, situated on the southern side of the Danube, where the Danube Valley opens up towards east and the landscape changes to smooth hills.

Soil
Loess (highly calcerous sandy-silty aeolic sediment from the Alps)

Harvest and Vinification
Middle of October we picked the fully ripe grapes with 19,5° KMW by hand. After crushing and destemming the mash was fermented in a stainless steel tank, temperature-controlled and was overfloated with the must twice a day. After 14 days the fermentation was finished. Careful pressing followed and after maturing for 24 months it was bottled and released in April.

Tasting notes
