Heinrich Zweigelt ’18

Description

Austria…..
Heinrich Zweigelt comes from flat plots where the soil is rich in humus, gravel and limestone. These vines are aged between 10 and 30 years old and lie on the slopes of the Leitha mountains. The team use biodynamic and 100% ecological agriculture, using organic and natural treatments instead of chemical products. The grapes are harvested manually.
In the winery, the Heinrich Zweigelt grapes ferment spontaneously with native yeasts and macerate for two weeks in wooden and stainless steel tanks. After pressing, the wine is transferred to wooden tanks and 500-litre oak barrels and ages there for 13 months.
Succulent dark fruit peaks behind the earthy, expressive palate; textbook Zweigelt, forward, with plenty of texture and fruit, lingering spicy finish.
