Tasting Notes

Naked and unadorned, this is a natural red blend that hides nothing. Zweigelt, Blaufränkisch and St. Laurent come from both sides of the Neusiedler See (Lake Neusiedl). On the west side, vines are rooted in the limestone and schist of the Leithaberg (Leitha Mountains) slopes; on the east side of the lake grapes in the gravelly Parndorfer Platte (Parndorfer Plain) and humus-rich Heideboden. The vineyards are in conversion to organics. This light, juicy red was native fermented with two weeks maceration in wooden fermentation vat and steel tank, and then aged for over a year in wood cask. Spiced blackcurrant, wild black cherry, pencil shavings rule the slender palate, sharpened with a balsamic twist. Tannins are slight and sticky, and acidity is crunchy bright. True to name / style.
