✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted from Zweigelt, Austria's most widely planted red grape variety—a cross created by Dr. Fritz Zweigelt in 1922—this wine originates from the Niederösterreich region. The region's warm Pannonian climatic influences combined with cool forest air from the north allow the grape to achieve optimal ripeness while maintaining vibrant fresh fruit characters. Expressed through temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation and light oak aging, the wine emphasizes ripe dark berry fruit, fine spice, and approachable, velvety tannins.
