Zweigelt Göttweiger Berg

Origin and Terroir The grapes for this red wine were harvested from our sustainable managed vineyards situated around the “Göttweiger Berg” in the southern Kremstal. The vineyards mainly grow on gravel, which is covered by a massive layer of loess. The warm Pannonian climate from the east is creating a microclimate unique to the Danube valley. The combination of the well-suited soil along with the unique climate of the Danube valley lies the foundation for the perfect ripening of the grapes. Vinification The Zweigelt grapes were harvested at full physiological ripeness. In the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and introduced to a classic must fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The Malolactic fermentation was done simultaneous with the fermentation. After 2 weeks, the fermenting mash was pressed out and stored in stainless steel tanks and allowed to mature before the wine was carefully bottled. Tasting notes Ruby and garnet colors in the glass, beautiful scents of cherries and fine spices develop in the nose, nice berry notes on the palate, fruity, trendy and smooth. Meal Recommendation This wine is well suited for a BBQ-evening, all hearty meal dishes or spicy pasta. It is also a fantastic wine to enjoy just by the glass. A great party wine!
